I went to the
Greater Orlando Orchid Society's Show & Sale today. For those of you in FL, it's going on through this Sunday, February 15th.
I usually have my husband take pictures when we go to orchid shows as he is a much better photographer than I. Unfortunately for you, he was unable to accompany me so you'll have to deal with my barely acceptable photography skills. I did think to take a photo of the identification tags when I could. If I messed up a name, or you have an ID for one I couldn't get, please comment below. I have too many pictures so I'll split them up. Here is Part 1 of 2, hope you enjoy the photos!

They had a few Esmeralda species for sale, don't see that everyday. As far as I know it's too hot to grow them here in FL, unless you have a specialty greenhouse and can cool them. Please correct me if I'm wrong as I want to go back and buy all Esmeralda species.
