Orchid Show Pictures

On Oct 20 the Fort Pierce Orchid Society show was full of unbelievable orchids. I took lots of pictures and also Scored. I did not have that much money I could spend and needed some supplies so my orchid buying was going to be very limited. They were selling raffle tickets 20 for $5. You had a choose of 16 prizes to drop your ticket into. 1 ticket went into each bucket with a few being doubled up. When the began to call the winning numbers at the end of the day Monique pulled the tickets out and by the 3rd prize my number was called and I won a Blc. Aroma gold "Charngmarg", well 6 more numbers later Monique had another number called. This orchid was a Blc. Bread Beauty 'True Love'. Now the ladies were like yall our so lucky with a sign of pee-turbed-ness under their breath. The funniest part was the 2nd to last prize was another 1 of our numbers, We were so Lucky that day. This orchid was a Bc. Island Charm'O.C.' So the first pictures are of the orchids won from the door prize drawings. And the last ones are random shots from the show.

PSLOS Orchid Show pictures









This past weekend The Port St Lucie Orchid Society had its 15th annual Orchid Show and Sale. Being new to this plant and flower thing this is my first orchid show and all I can say is WOW! They had some outstanding floor displays, and the vendors designed tabletop displays set up all through out the room. I have a few pictures of the displays. I can not believe how extraordinary orchids are. The many varieties and each one has its own characteristics from the different fragrances, sizes, colors, and pedals. I made some adoptions expanded the collection but those will come later. So for now here are those shots of the show. Click on the picture for a large shot so you can see some of the many different varieties.
