FOS Show 2009 Photos

[slipperfreak]

I made the trek down to Calgary (Alberta, Canada) this weekend to take in this year's show hosted by the Foothills Orchid Society. It was a great show, and I picked up some great plants. But, I wanted to share some photos that I took. These are mostly Paphs and Phrags, but a couple others are in there as well. Of course there were many more plants than what is pictured here - these were just some of my favorites.

Paph Ma Belle


Paph Ho Chi Minh


Paph delenatii


Paph bellatulum


I am kicking myself for not writing down the name of this one, but it is a Parvi x Brachy cross with armeniacum and concolor in the background:


There was a gorgeous Phrag Cardinale 'Wilcox' on display that belongs to a member of my society. This shot shows much of the plant, with a Paph St. Swithin next to it:


Here is a close-up of two of the blooms:


Phrag April Fool


Comparettia speciosa


I think this was a Cattleya maxima (not much of a Cattleya person):


Den. Fancy Angel (group)


That's all folks!

Great shots, Joe. I know it's hard to get nice photos at an indoor show under fluorescent light. You reminded me that I need to post some show pics myself. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the pictures. I am a catt person but the paphs and phrags run a close second. There is some nice ones here.
