2009 Santa Barbara International Orchid Show pictures

Here are fresh pictures from the show, taken on judging day before the crowds!
The theme this year was "Orchid Escape", and you could really escape in this grand show. There were lots of beautiful Cymbidiums and other orchids. One of the highlights was a display by SBOE of all Australian Dendrobiums, both species and hybrids, almost all of them specimens.



Many wonderful pendulous cymbidiums:



and a very unusual fully perfect peloric Phalenopsis:
