Folks - John has agreed to moderate this evening and show Colette's pictures of the Singapore orchid show. Enjoy! I'm off to a warm bed, aspirin, and a long night's sleep. Hugs to you...
John_in_Arcadia,_CA
OK here we go!! the first one the first place phalaenopsis
Knisbett
That first pic is great!
John_in_Arcadia,_CA
Next, special Phalaenopsis award.
And Second Place Phal. amboinensis
Kathy_in_N_Calif
Wonderful photos! That Phal amboinensis (2nd Place) really shows how closely related phals and vandas are!
John_in_Arcadia,_CA
Tell me if I am going too fast (Please!!)
#4 is: Waironara Woie Ling and Rhychocentrum Ladda Gold

Ooh, I like the lavender one on the left! What kind is it?

#5 is: a cross of Waironara Woie Ling and Prra Luke Thai
Paul,_Saginaw,_Mi
Nice color in #5, soft like.

John_in_Arcadia,_CA

John_in_Arcadia,_CA

Is Colette Abissi is not able to join us??
John_in_Arcadia,_CA Kathy, Yes apparently.
#8 is: 2d Place Miscellaneous - Paryaecuin sesquipedale
Kathy_in_N_Calif
So Angraecum is now Paracequin??? And that Rodriquezia was delightful! Mine usually are wrinkled from neglect.
John_in_Arcadia,_CA
#10 is: 1st Place and Special Award - Kagawara Christie Low
Paul,_Saginaw,_Mi
Those orchids make ours in Michigan look awful pale.
John_in_Arcadia,_CA
And a display of Mokara
Kathy_in_N_Calif
Those Mokaras are woderfully colorful!! Our OrchidSafari member from Bombay (I'm blanking on his name right now...) always told me to watch for more Mokaras to be imported to America. Now I can't wait!
John_in_Arcadia,_CA
#11 Arachnis and Hybrids
#12 3rd Place - Paph. rothschildianum.
This is #13: 1st Place - Paph concolor
Thomas_in_Richmond,_VA Number 12 [the rothschildianaum] is my favorite so far.
Kathy_in_N_Calif
Nice roth! And everyone should notice that the Mokaras and other vandaceous plants are potted in some sort of coir.
Interesting huh! Jags said they just plant them in the ground there in Singapore and India, etc.
Barbara,_N._CA
The Paph. concolor is making my mouth watering.
Kathy_in_N_Calif
I didn't know concolor could look so good!
John_in_Arcadia,_CA
#14 a Paph Display
# 15 1st and 3rd Place Cattleyas, Lc. Shellie Compton on the left,and Lc. Derna on the right.
ahorchid
Now we have some nice orchids.
Knisbett
Oh, my!! How beautiful!
Barbara,_N._CA
I rather have the second place Catt.
John_in_Arcadia,_CA
# 16 3rd Place Cattleya - Blc. Ewart McDonald.
Sharon_in_Indiana
I want one of each Cattleya for Christmas...I've been real good. LOL ...and at least one of Blc. Ewart McDonald.
Paul,_Saginaw,_Mi
There is a number below the plant, do they use the same classifications as in the states?
Kathy_in_N_Calif
Paul, I think each show uses its own numbers for show classifications.
John_in_Arcadia,_CA
#17 Cattleya Display
Paul,_Saginaw,_Mi
If Santa has a heated sleigh, he can bring me the Phals and the Paphs. That would be a nice Christmas present.
John_in_Arcadia,_CA
#18 front entrance to the show
#19 Dendrobium Margaret Thatcher
Knisbett
Wow, that's an interesting one! - the dendrobium.
Sharon_in_Indiana
Hmmm I may decide that dendrobiumss should be part of my collection after all. :)
John_in_Arcadia,_CA
Here is #20: Rhv Colmarie
Knisbett
I can't imagine actually seeing them in person!
John_in_Arcadia,_CA
Isn't # 20 [the Rhychovanda] fantastic?? What a beautiful color!!
Kathy_in_N_Calif
Wonderful purple color.
#21 is: Onc. Noll Schoenrock
John_in_Arcadia,_CA
What a display on that Onc!!!!! I could only hope to do 1/2 as well (well, maybe only 1/100!!)
Barbara,_N._CA
That's the best looking Miss J I ever seen.
#23 Blue Renanthera/Rhychostylis Type
Kathy_in_N_Calif
Now that's a wonderful orchid!
Steve_in_the_Adirondacks
I'm testing my computer in a way I never tried before. I have 17 Netscape windows open at once. This one and the last 16 orchid pictures. I think I smell smoke. Maybe I should close some of them. :-)
Knisbett
I got the pic but not the name? Is this one a blue vanda? In my dreams I have blue vandas, LOL! Not enough light in my place to bloom them, I'm sure. [No name was given.]
John_in_Arcadia,_CA>BR? #24 Den. Dawn Maree
Barbara,_N._CA
How come my Den Dawn Maree only have 2 flowers?
Paul,_Saginaw,_Mi
These orchids are in the IDEAL conditions.
Sharon_in_Indiana
How I wish I had the space and the light to grow vandas. They sure are 'some kind of purty'.
Kathy_in_N_Calif
Arrgh, I just killed one of those!
John_in_Arcadia,_CA
The last one is #25:
"Three Vandas" - no names
Knisbett
Wow, that vanda on the left is really cool!
ahorchid
A little cold in my gh for vanda, but I've got one anyway. Maybe it will bloom
Kathy_in_N_Calif
Paul, you got that right! I've been marvelling at the lack of brown tips, the plump well hydrated leaves, all broad and flat... not like my collection at all! *G*
John_in_Arcadia,_CA
I hope that I haven't gone too fast. No one complained and we did get them all in in the 1 hour alloted for the speaker (even if we didn't have one - LOL).
Knisbett
You did great, John!
