Getting ready for our show this week...
These 9 are going, for sure (8 individual pics plus the Den Zengyo Pink in the group picture))...
I also have an Ascda Busaraporn that opened today, I'm hoping it "gets happy" in the next 2 days.
I'm also waiting to see if a few others bloom in time...Phal lobbii (pic in Chat Project gallery with 3 spikes!), Phal equestris 'Hillbrook' and Asctm ampullaceum.
The lat pic is the Ascda Busaraporn which needs a day or two to fully open...

Phrag. Andean Fire
He is a treasured gift from a very good friend and it got a blue ribbon in our monthly show table last month.
Right now, he has 1 bloom and two buds at the top

Thanks 
I've been praying that my V Pat Delight would open in time. It was in full bloom just a few months ago and it came back with two spikes! Both are in bud but it won't be in time for the show...I looked up the awards on this one and none of them have ever had a double spike

Wow, you are in deep with the orchids now!! Societies, boards, shows, grow rooms!! Congrats Sue!!!!!!!!! I hope you get some kind of ribbon on all of them. Hopefully all top prizes. I'm praying for that P. lobbii to completely open by Thursday.

Tin,
it's all just proof of just how little control I have of anything! 
I'm hoping for Jessica to do her thing quickly!

Well, we finished the show setup today and it looks beautiful! The members of our club who put in the time and effort did an extraordinary job
Alas...Jessica is still being shy  but My Phal equestris 'Hillbrook' opened overnight! I was out in the room at 6:30 this morning with a flashlight and got this cute little surprise...
