We attended the 77th Santa Barbara International Orchid show and had a great time! Here are a few pictures of my favorite display made by my friend Joe Ambriz of Ambriz Kingdom of Plants. He won the prize for Most Artistic Display!
Here are some of the other displays at the orchid show.
I like this orchid that got the award for Best Vanda |
This display of cymbidium orchids had three hanging arrangements overhead and on closer inspection, I saw some begonias among the orchid blooms! Eagle eye Mike Flaherty spotted begonia 'Randy MK2' hybridized by Australian Joe Romeo!
So what did I buy at the orchid show?
I bought one bromeliad and two cactuses! the bromeliad is now by the front door and that cacti will join the other cactus on my crowded cactus growing bench!
