Foolishly, I didn't make a note of many of the names of the plants (lesson learnt!), so quite a few of these won't have terribly informative names/captions. Unfortunately, none of our plants decided to declare it "spring" in time for the show.
First, some of the many, many Cymbidium on show.
Some of the awarded Cymbidiums:

This post has been sitting in my drafts for ages - I'll follow up with some of the other orchids in due course :)
Wow! Looks like it was a great show. Really wonderful Cymbidiums. Don't see a lot of those here. S. California is more Cymbidium country. Nice photography, too, by the way.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ron :) Most of these were "smash and grab" photos, so they're not fantastic, but good enough records I think (at least within the environment of public show hours!).
