We don’t often get to see brightly colored Phragmipediums on our show table, much less one with three inflorescences, six flowers and spotless leaves. Phrag. Noirmont is a hybrid of Memoria Dick Clements x longifolium registered in 1997. A popular hybrid, it has received 65 AOS awards.

Grower: Bill Timm

A well flowered example of this hybrid. The cross was registered in 1973 and the clone ‘King’ received an HCC and AM award on March 18, 1977. The HCC award, occurring first at the Shreveport LA Show, was for a plant with 10 flowers. The AM award was given at the Santa Barbara CA show to a plant with 165 flowers. Since then, five cultural awards have been given to plants with 243 to 460 flowers.

An attractive hybrid of Den. Chinsai x aureum this clone received its HCC award in 1987. It has received three cultural awards, the most recent was a plant with 2300 flowers. The plant shown has a good start in creating a massive ball of flowers on a future blooming.

A yellow form of Guairanthe aurantiaca, a species from much of Central America on the Pacific side of the mountains at low elevations. The most common form is bright orange but color forms from yellow to red are reported.

Grower: Toni Marie

Congratulations Toni! Probably the first standard Cymbidium to appear on the VAOS plant table. The fact that this plant grew and bloomed in Venice Florida reflects the ‘cold’ 2010 winter.

Grower: Richard Amos

A nicely grown plant of this species typical of the selective breeding found in this species. Probably a tetraploid.The species occurs naturally in Brazil, and coming from low elevations, is very suitable for growing in our area.

Registered in 2006, Den. Yellow Song is a hybrid of Den. Midas Gold x Den Santana. Den. Santana combines an intermediate to cool growing species, Den. moniliforme with a warm to hot growing species, Den. fredericksianum. This diverse background may be one reason that this plant is successful in our area.

A young plant with only a couple of blossoms was selected as first place by a member for the shape and color of the flower. Miltassia Charlie Loo is a cross of Miltassia Charles M. Fitch by Brassia Edvah Loo registered in 1997.

Grower: Ross Moore

Several members selected this Paphiopedilum for its ribbon because of its dark color and upright stem. The hybrid was registered in 1924 and the plant exhibited is likely a remake using dark colored forms of the parents.

Grower: Bob wallace

While Bob purchased the plant as named, there was some question as to whether it was the species or a hybrid from the species. Either way, it provided a great display of color.

Grower: Bill Timm

Selected because it is a species not frequently seen on our show table. Close up the small flowers are green, white and yellow and intricately shaped. The species grows in SouthastAsia.

Grower: Carol Liddy
