Another thread of pictures for your viewing enjoyment. The orchids
themselves were spectacular, of course, and the exhibits ranged from the
ridiculous to the sublime to the *over the top*.

IMO, the venue left lots to desire. There was a warehouse feel to it. The
main room was harshly lit (hard to get those big fluorescents out of camera
range) and hard underfoot. The adjacent space was a bit softer.

Anyway, here goes.

The greeters:

A few angles of Bob Fuchs' display:

Krull Smith's Phal tree and other sides of his display (KS had these huge
trees with orchids covering as a canopy:

Oriental influence:

P. spicerianum 'Super':

P. gratrixianum (disregard the tag behind it):

A Paph dome! Made from P. Lippewunder Anja x Mem. Arthur Falk.

C. Hail Storm 'Coconut Orchids'. This plant was about 5 feet wide; who knows
what the circumference might be!

Funny story about this: While I was admiring it, a man next to me said, "I
have one of those, but mine is bigger". To which a woman on the other side
of me whispered, "They all say that!".

LOL........

EFG's display, which I think Tennis may have told you about.

A few various & sundry to come and then I'll start a new thread in a while.

C. perciviliana:

Some interesting prop ideas.

Pretty display of Disas.

(((((LOL))))) Sounds like a fishing story to me! A lovely specimen indeed.
Thanks for finding the time Di,
Cheers Wendy
