Some folks expressed an interest in seeing some Longwood Gardens orchid photos. It was a great show. I would say the group/type of orchids that were most impressive were the paphs. Did anyone else on this forum make it to the show?
Here's Paph. Born Cross-Eyed 'Poe Paddy'
Paph. Tiger Girl 'St Leonards Creek'
Paph. hainanensis
Lc. Bess Truman
Blc Goldenzelle 'Lemon Chiffon' AM/AOS
And a cluster of Blc Goldenzelle 'Lemon Chiffon' AM/AOS
Potinara Redheart 'Neptune'
Sorry for the bit of blurriness, but hopefully you can still see the beautiful shape and display of these fantastic flowers
Potinara (Blc Orglades Happy Face x Love Call)
Yes, this was just as amazing in person. I couldn't get enough photos of it!
Cattleya lawrenceana
Cymbidium 'Lady Spring'
The color on these was just unreal. Incredibly dark and saturated red.
Cattleya Susan Holguin 'Ramona'
Paph. Fumi's Delight
Paphiopedilum Lippewunder 'Haley Suzanne' AM AOS
Paphiopedilum malipoense 'Jerry Bass' AM AOS
Dendrobium loddigesii
More to post another time!

Thanks, everybody!
Another BEAUTIFUL Cattleya, Breeindy! Your collection is amazing.
Here's a closeup of Potiara Hwa Yuan Gold. Some color, huh?
Vanda 'Sweet Wine'
Paph. Tokyo Knight Dream
Paph. F C Puddle 'Superbum' (love this!)
Phragmipedium Saint Ouen 'Piping Rock Hot'
The color of this clone was absolutely amazing. Several other red Phrags. surrounded it; some taller, some larger, but this one was the star in my opinion. The brightest, most saturated red of all.
Oncidium croesus. Such a pretty little plant and flower . . .
Vanda Pachong Blue
Bifrenaria harrisoniae
Has anyone had experience growing this one? It's such a handsome orchid. Would love to try it sometime.
Renanthera Bill Crocker 'Nancy'
Bifrenaria harrisoniae
Sorry for the blurriness, but you get the idea. Just look at the number of flowers on this plant!
Miltonia Patricia Marie Linares
Rhynchosophrocattleya Hawaiian Prominence 'America'
Grouping of red Paphs . . .
Galeottia grandiflora x Zygopetalum Helen Ku
Dtps Chain Xen 'Mammon'
Slc. Hsin Buu Lady Y.T. AM/AOS grouping
Didn't get the name on these Cymbidiums, but aren't they beautiful?
I think I have a few more photos, which I'll try to post later. Enjoy!
Rhynchosophrocattleya Hawaiian Prominence 'America'
Good job on the photos, and thanks for the names! Now I know what to put on my want list. LOL! Got to look up that Bifrenaria....
I think the Longwood orchid show is a mecca destination for northerners the way Redlands is for those of us in the southern states.
You really did a nice job with the photos Pinetop. Such a good variety of orchids displayed. Also, that you included both species and hybrids made the show extra interesting. I think from the views they are being enjoyed by many. I have always been partial to Paph. malipoense though I've never had one.
