\"Stanhopea<\/a>\"Restrepia<\/a>\"Dendrobium<\/a><\/p>\n

There was so much to enjoy at this summer’s Orchids in the Park<\/a> that I still have plenty of photos to share. Longtime readers already know that my orchid tastes often run to the bizarre, the uncommon, or varieties that I’ve never seen in person before. So here are some of my freaky favorites from this year’s show.<\/p>\n

\"Phragmipedium<\/a>\"Anguloa<\/a>\"Aeranthes<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Maxillaria<\/a>\"Cirrhopetalum-type<\/a>\"Masdevallia<\/a><\/p>\n

I mentioned earlier<\/a> that there were lots of Stanhopea<\/a> and Sobralia<\/a> flowers at the show, both types remarkable to see because of their notoriously short-lived blooms. But I also found a peculiar Lady Slipper<\/a> species which I’d only known from pictures before, Phragmipedium lindenii. It lacks that defining pouch-like lip of its cousins (in other words, it’s a Lady Slipper without the slipper part.) A green, star-shaped Aeranthes, which is an Angraecum relative, was among the other unusual finds. And there are always plenty of strange Bulbophyllums. For yet another year, Orchids in the Park has maintained its tradition as an outstanding event, full of fascinating sights.<\/p>\n
