19 WOC
 

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.

C. Hail Storm 'Coconut Orchids'. This plant was about 5 feet wide; who knows

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........

Do you remember it, Janet? Humongous thing. As big as it was, though, the
flower quality wasn't exceptional.
