Wow Marleneanne thanks for the pics. That chain of hearts was something special. Do you know that I've only just acquired some little pieces of this plant. I couldn't find anyone willing to give me any and I couldn't buy it. Colleen

some great pics marleanne,.,.we are prepping up for our sept daffodil show.,we had our 25th last year,but have some big names attending this one,..,lots of work to be done,between now and sept,.,.anthony

I have a plant of this one and I had it in a hanging basket. When I got home from the show I put it on a pedestal. It looks so much better. The Anthuriums were beautiful. I purchased a large V. Kiwi Cream too.
If your cuttings don't grow let me know I will send you a bit.

Lots of sales tables for orchids, broms, etc.

If your show is half the success of the Orchidfest ...you will still have a great show. At 9.00am I couldn't get a car park there were so many people wanting to get into the show. The hall was jam packed with people on bus trips for the show. Some from 300km away.

Thanks Marleneanne. They are growing so far. I;m sure that they will be okay. I've got them hanging in the SH but I do think that they look great on the pedestal. Colleen

colleen,i hope those SH initials are for sun house,anthony!

Glorious pics MarleneAnn! Thanks for letting us see them!
I love orchids shows but sometimes there's lots of flowers & not too much green, but this is a profusion of colour & green & just glorious! (Lots of Tillandsia usenoides too ;-)

So clever!
Looks like orchid growing is alive & well on the Sunshine Coast!

Really beautiful...Marleneann.....the committee have done a great job....

Yes Leisa...part of the Floral Art Competition.

Very nice show Marlene. Thanks too, for the bromeliad pics. Lots of nice foliage plants.
Colleen, you didn't ask me for any chain of hearts. I will send you some seeds as I have pots of the stuff and they seed prolifically. They are very quick and easy to raise from seed. I have mine in pots in a bit of guttering nailed to the shade house wall. Its like a curtain.
