[Ben Belton]

Here are some pics from my trip to Orchidview yesterday. I had a great time as always. I don't know which was better, the orchids or the biscuits. From the looks of things (my belly), it was the biscuits because I had more of them than orchids. HP, Katherine, and Carol were wonderful. I have a good time every time I go. At least it wasn't so hot this time.

I'm not the best photographer. A few are a bit over exposed, but its quick point and shoot and then editing on my crappy notebook computer. Sorry I don't know many names. The only species plants in bloom were the mahogany manniis. Hopefully I can go back when the violaceas are in bloom.

Enjoy!

Took this one just for the foliage. It was a Mok Choi Yew -- edit this has my name on it. -peter

Wow wonderful trip Ben. Let me know when you might be going for the violaceas. I'll swap you for a weekend at my place for the Longwood orchid show.

Cheers.

It's really too bad HP hasn't figured out how to grow plants.
