Default I think I got my money's worth here. This is what $10 in raffle plants looks like

I bought $10 worth of tickets (each ticket is $1) not thinking I'd win anything, because most people were walking around with $50+ worth of tickets. I decided to put a ticket in 9 different pots to widen my chances. Wouldn't you know, I got all 9 of the plants I put tickets in for

I also got a free division of a Bulb. Daisy Chain.

The speaker at our club was Tom from Carolina Orchids. A well known grower. I didn't buy any of his plants, but they looked beautiful. He gave a speech on his favorite miniature orchids. I had no idea how prolific of bloomers miniatures really are until today!

It is so easy when you pull out everyone else's tickets before the drawing...

Good for you! That goes to show, that it only takes one ticket to win.

So that is probably why I never win at ruffles, I always leave the other tickets in

Hah! Looks like my secret is out.

If anyone can help with the names of some of these, too that would be great. Most of these have weird names. I couldn't find anything on Google.

* C. swan lake 'cimaron valley' AOS x C. ?em Paul t. yamada 'mendenhall'

*Lc culminant 'la tuilerie' (Lynn Sp????) HCC/AOS

*Lc culminant 'la tulerie' (this one didn't have a person's name in parentheses though)

*C. gaskelliana 'color spot' x C. gaskelliana charm

*Lc. Carl Boynshine 'mendenhall' x. Lc john mossman 'lines Kt9x'

*Lc. Brierly's Ferry 'summer spice'

* Bl. Olympic meadows x C. Bicolor 'beta'

That's all of the weird ones that I couldn't find pictures or descriptions for. The other 2 Catts are:

*Bl. Yellow Bird

*Blc. Green Dragon

I was told that a lot of these plants date back to the early 1990's.
