Default Can you believe the "weak-sister" plants

some folks enter at orchid shows? I mean, at the last show I attended, there was this puny Coelgyne that was in one display, it was laughable. So much so I just had to take a pic to show.



Just scroll on down

Now wouldn't you be "embarassed" to show such a paltry example of plantdom? LOL!

Oh and for those having difficulty with the scale, the Coel was probably about 3ft [80-90 cm] across. How Cindy & Walt [Green Acres] got it to the show in such great shape I'll never know.

That's getting into the showstopper category! Is it a cristata?
