@CharlesD Thank you for the photo. What an awesome trip! I love the sunset/autumn color complex paph. I didnot realize Hilo Orchid Farm was doing a lot of work with those.

Wrapping the trip with a Hillsview stop must have been really nice!

Yes James has been using Lippewunder a lot but also Gege Hughes and little bit of crazy jolly type hybrids to get those colors. He also has a few with Annette and fall magic. There was a just a mother load of Crosses of all types

Linus asked about those too. Did not get the name but those two were excellent quality and color was better in person

Wow! Thank you for the photos, Charles. For sure, I would have picked up a few of those complex Paphs. if I were there.

I would like to know the names of imag. 1971, 1984, and 2688 if you don't mind me asking.

Here you go
1971 - orangeade x crazy shell I believe called orange margarita. Cross from Japan. These were $200-$300 I believe
1984 - a division of a crazy jolly
2688 - Shirokane x white queen cool cross Teresa made as Shirokane usually not fertile. Hopeful that this backcross might get over fertility barrier

Thank you, Charles. Yeah, the good ones always come with a big price tag...but deservedly so.

Had a busy first day. I think the show had 11 AOS awards, mostly Paphs and Phrags. Will try to get pictures and names tomorrow morning before sales.

Do you know the name of the complex in 2023? I’ll bet that one was on a stud bench.

Was at Quintal and they were funny about pulling tags so not sure. And yes was in the stud house. I would estimate a Paph New Direction hybrid

I suspect 2023 might be QF Burgundy Blush (Laurie Lei Quintal x Satchel's Legend).
