I spent most of yesterday at the Tampa Orchid Club Show and Sale over at the USF Botanical Garden. I clerked for the judges in the morning and gave my orchid presentation at 1:00 PM for about 12 very interested folks. I did have a little time for shopping and came home with three new babies.
The orange color of this Brada Orange Delight 'Starbeck' grabbed my attention right away.
Next I found a large Catt with several huge buds. Then I saw it was a Chia Lin cross and had to have it. The buds started to open last night. I'll post new pics when the flowers are fully open. You sure can see the Chia Lin in her. Here is Pot. (Miya'sPassion X Carolina's Splender) X Blc. Chia Lin 'New City'.
Finally, I picked up Rossioglosum Rawdon Jester 'Great Bee'. Mine is not in bloom or spike but they had a sample plant there and the flower looked like a huge Psychopsis. See this Utube:
