Time for some posts ...

I've been quite busy over the last couple weeks and didn't really have the time to write some new posts. I have new orchids in bloom and also new orchids that I acquired at the couple orchid shows that I recently attended. The two shows were the fall orchid show sponsored by the Southbay Orchid Society and the Southland Orchid Show at the Huntington Library. Here are some photos from the two shows.

These are some mounted orchids (Laelias, Schomburgkia, and other orchids) that were on exhit at the Southbay orchid show. Unfortunately, this is not the best photo that I could have taken.









This is an exhibit from one of the growers at the Southland Orchid Show.

Updates to upcoming events

I updated the list of orchid events coming up soon. Hopefully, you will make it to one of these events. I wanted to share this photo of Paphiopedilum rothschildianum, a slipper species from Mt Kinabalu in Malaysia. I took this photo during the 2005 Southland Orchid Show at Huntington Library.
