Yesterday (Thursday) 16 September I took my family up to Darling to the opening day of Duckitts' orchid show on Oude Post farm. I hadn't been at the show for several years now so I promised myself that I would be there early on the first day to ensure I had a good chance of getting the plants I wanted from the sales area. To be honest I was a little disappointed with the range of plants on sale but also the fact that the Phalaenopsis on sale did not bare any labels, so no grex names or parentage. I queried this with the volunteers servicing the sales area but they could only suggest that these plants had been produced for the pot-plant trade and therefore were devoid of any discernable nomenclature. Well... I ended up buying some great looking plants anyway because the flowers looked particularly high-quality. All these were re-potted into bark chips as soon as I got back home. I also bought a flowering Angraecum sesquipedale (var. angustifolia) and I had been hoping they would be on sale. There are lots more but none in flower.
I have compiled a few photos that I took randomly while wondering through the show area. There were some really beautiful plants on view some of which I could not find labels for to provide you with any names, but I will do my best...I have also added images of those which I bought - enjoy.
