So I went to an orchid show.....

This weekend is the Toronto Artistic Orchid Society Show. I didn't set up my own display but instead sent four plants with a local society. They did pretty good...

Paph rothschildianum 'Fergus'...1st in multifloral species
Paph lowii...2nd in multi species
Phal amabilis...3rd in Phal species
Galeandra leptoceras 'Fergus' CCM/AOS...1st in Cym allied species, hybrids and intergenerics
Galeandra leptoceras 'Fergus' CCM/AOS...Best Cymbidium.

I also got a small Paph lowii seedling from Sam Tsui and was gifted an in bud Paph Booths Sand Lady and seedling Paph anitum from a friend.

I helped with judging this morning and thoroughly enjoyed it. Next year I hope to join the judging program.

Sorry no photos...I forgot my camera...had to get up before 6am and couldn't remember to take the camera with fuzzy morning thinking.

 

Oh yeah...Ivan, from Ecuagenera was there. I was surprised when he gave me a big hug as I didn't think he'd remember me. I had to send Jean an email as soon as I got home to rub it in. She gets to see Ivan next weekend though so I'm sure she'll get her hug too.

 

"What'd you get????"


'I also got a small Paph lowii seedling from Sam Tsui and was gifted an in bud Paph Booths Sand Lady and seedling Paph anitum from a friend.'

Needless to say I am happy...especially with a paph anitum seedling! Now to see if it is as hard to grow as I've heard.

 

:evil: Hopefully he'll feel good next weekend too Jean.

 

Good point MJ....he's short enough that we could pick him up and carry him away. Oops wait...that's not what you meant by dignity is it....

 

LOL...naw...it's nice to look and joke but it's all fun and games. I don't think Steve would like it if I brought Ivan home thrown over my shoulder. "I found him...can I keep him?"
