Yes, that looks like a Schomburgkia tompsoniana you left on the table there, Lindsey. It's a great orchid. By the way, Rafael will be the guest speaker at our club meeting next February and will bring plants to sell. Nice alba Psychopsis and three sequential blooming spikes make it super.

I was at the Expo for a few minutes this afternoon to pick up my show orchids. I won a 2nd place ribbon for Bc. Memoria Bernice Foster and a third place ribbon for Bc. Marg Putman. There were lots of nice orchids there.

One of the vendors at the Expo was from Apopka and I really liked her plants. Her place is called Orchids in Bloom and the address is 2001 Rock Spring Rd. It is just past Krull-Smith. She seems eager to sell, unlike Charlie Chapman, where it was like pulling teeth to get an orchid out of there no matter what you were willing to pay.
