I guess I could post quite a few pictures of Orchids but the grounds of the hotel were full of Snowdrops hence the photo above.</p> <p>Wether it is <a title="growing" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/growing/">growing</a> naturally outdoors or displayed indoors the visual impact is one of the key areas where we seek perfection.The way an item is displayed or shown to others is one of <a title="gardening" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/gardening/">gardening</a>’s greatest skills.</p> <p>So I have succumbed with these<strong> display</strong> shots</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hortoris/4395163572/" title="Orchids show 2010 "><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4017/4395163572_3b41cda59a.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="Orchids show 2010"/></a><br /> The host societies display in the main room.</p> <p>The display case below had a deep recess but with a matt black backing it looked more like a picture frame. Also ideal for Auriculas I would imagine.</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hortoris/4395150320/" title="Orchid display case by brianpettinger, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2790/4395150320_08ef737ed9.jpg" width="500" height="258" alt="Orchid display case" /></a></p> <p>For me and many others visitors to the show it was the scented Orchids that seemed to attract the most attention. For me the star of the show was <strong>Dendrobium kingianum</strong> with a very strong hyacinth-type scent to the <a title="flowers" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/flowers/">flowers</a>. The flowers were less than an inch across and pure white with a hint of purple.<br /> Dendrobium like plenty of bright filtered sunlight but not direct sunlight that may burn the leaves. They can be difficult to re-flower if they do not receive sufficient light.</p> <div style="display: none">VN:F [1.6.3_896]</div><div class="ratingblock"><div class="ratingblock "><div class="ratingheader ">Rate this Article</div><div class="ratingstars "><div id="article_rater_31195" class="ratepost gdsr-soft gdsr-size-24"><div class="starsbar gdsr-size-24"><div class="gdouter gdheight"><div id="gdr_vote_a31195" style="width: 0px;" class="gdinner gdheight"></div><div id="gdr_stars_a31195" class="gdsr_rating_as"><a id="gdsrX31195X5X0XaXarticle_rater_31195Xarticle_loader_31195X10X24" title="5 / 5" class="s5" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX31195X4X0XaXarticle_rater_31195Xarticle_loader_31195X10X24" title="4 / 5" class="s4" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX31195X3X0XaXarticle_rater_31195Xarticle_loader_31195X10X24" title="3 / 5" class="s3" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX31195X2X0XaXarticle_rater_31195Xarticle_loader_31195X10X24" title="2 / 5" class="s2" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX31195X1X0XaXarticle_rater_31195Xarticle_loader_31195X10X24" title="1 / 5" class="s1" rel="nofollow"></a></div></div></div></div><div id="article_loader_31195" style="display: none; width: 120px; " class="ratingloader article"><div class="loader flower " style="height: 24px"><div class="loaderinner" style="padding-top: 2px">please wait...</div></div></div></div><div class="ratingtext "><div id="gdr_text_a31195">Rating: 0.0/<strong>5</strong> (0 votes cast)</div></div></div></div>
