One thing my friends have learned for sure...when we're at a show, NEVER walk up to me with any variation of C Chocolate Drop and say "Look!"

Bad move!

Those are awesome! The lamelligera is a very nice one. BTW, the easiest way to tell lamelligera from cornu-cervi is to look at the lip - lamelligera has an m-shape to the lip edge which is very clear in your second photo.

I like the first 2 best, especially the phal. Glad you didn't hang that one over the pool like you did to the vanda!!!!

Laura, next time you want to go to one of these events with Susie Q, let me know and I'll come down there and protect you!

Is that the only way we're ever gonna get you down here, Doc?

Nope, someday I'll take a ride across the ally and visit or maybe continue down 75 and then across.... should I save some room in the car for all the great plants I'l be bring back, even though I haven't inch of room for anything bigger than a thimble

Phal. appendiculata has been #1 on my wish list ever since I saw a picture of it on Dowery's website. Your's is lovely Sue! (I would have snitched it from Laura too!)

You're lucky that I wasn't there, because I would have taken that phal out of your hands! I just love the Aeridovanda, the colors are just WOW! Looks like different colored lifesavers all mixed into one.

Well, laura and I entered plants in the show (3 each) and we both won ribbons on every plant!
Two first place blue and 1 second place ribbon for each of us!

Of course, I also bought two more today

I got a Phal equestris 'alba' that seems to be meant to be mine. We saw it there on Friday and I was debating but decided to skip that one because I had 5 others in my arms. Well, it was meant to be...because it was waiting for me today

I also got a Cyc Wine Delight with 2 large buds.
Will post pics later...gotta feed the hubby, he's been ignored all week! LOL
