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.

| Yellow Cattleya hybrid |

| Lc. Siamese Doll. Been seeing a lot of these at shows, is it the hot new hybrid or what? |

This is serious orchid paradise, thank you for sharing
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking it out! I know I love when people take and upload photos at events, so I figured I'd give it a shot with an actual camera this time.
DeleteIm not into orchids but looks like the show was full of blooms and colours :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for looking anyway! Just checked out your blog, very cool! Looks like there's a lot of Finnish carnivorous plant growers out there. I've got some more carnivorous plant stuff lined up for later in the month when more is going on with them to post about.
DeleteSomebody is using one of your picture for his ebay auction:

Thanks! I really appreciate the notice, and I'm about to send the seller a message. If nothing else, I've considered buying something from this seller before, and now we know he or she uses stolen photos, I'll pass.
