Miranda Orchid Exhibit 2008 The Miranda Orchid Society show was held two weeks ago. I don´t like using flash when I take orchid pictures and I only took my monopod and it was very dark. Most pictures did not come out very well, I salvaged these three:     Top left a Vanda Sanderiana, a species. On the right another Vanda. A very nice Cattleya Lueddemanianna coerulea from Venezuela 7:24:57 PM    comment []

Eduardo and Santos send some nice pictures Eduardo and Santos send their regular contributions. If my memory is right the top two, the two Waleriana´s belong to Eduardo and the remaidner to Santos.    Two spectacular Walkerianas, the one on the left lloks like a coerulea and an alba on the right.     Cattleya Bicolor from Brazil on the left, on the right Encyclia Atrorubens from Mexico     On the left the famous Cattleya Walkeriana White Heritage. On the right Cirropetalum Medusae and a nice specimen at that.     On the left, Cattleya Trianae alba from Colombia. On the right, Dendrobium Infudibilum from Asia.     On the left a primary hybrid of the statrange combination of Cattleya Schilelraiana x Pescatorea Lemmanii, likely to ahve been made by Carlos Garcia Esquivel, sounds like the type of combinations he likes.On the right Lc. China Queen. A hybrid after my own heart, Cattleya Schilleriana x Cattleya Aclandiae 6:45:14 PM    comment []
