Looking back over photos from the Oakland Orchid Show<\/a>, I realized that one post didn’t do it justice. With so many beautiful blooms, Dave and I had more pictures to share. Just to start, here are rich colors from a Vanda<\/a>, a Cattleya<\/a>, and an Ascocenda<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Remarkable colors are only part of the show. Large Cirrhopetalum buds arranged in a circle haven’t opened yet, but their unusual shapes and patterns create an impressive display. Tiny blue and orange flowers light up a mini Dendrobium<\/a> species. Sunny yellow splashes brighten a mini Doritis, a Phal<\/a> relative.<\/p>\n

Finally, some orchids don’t even look real, as if they were Dr. Seuss<\/a> creations. However, it’s Mother Nature who deserves credit for these pastel colors and unusual textures. The next 2 photos show members of the Epidendrum<\/a> family, and the last one shows a furry Masdevallia<\/a>.<\/p>\n
