He’s the MAN, all right! When he brings orchids to sell in our monthly silent auction at our meetings, his plants are always high quality, too. I’ve never gotten a bad plant from Glen.

Today’s #orchid:
A gorgeous Brassia, grown by one of our member/growers.
My guess is that this one is
Brassia Rex 'Waiomao Spotless’… (I didn’t get a look at the tag.)

Today’s #orchid is:
A Cattleya whose name I don’t know.
Seen at a grower/member’s place yesterday, at a special event he was having.
I can see the dowiana in it, though!

Today’s #orchid:
"From the 1980’s, it’s
Blc. Goldenzelle ‘Orange Pumpkin’ HCC/AOS
(Fortune x C Horace)
on display at Shogun Orchids in Keaau, Hawaii.”
Comment and photo courtesy of Art Chadwick, who was our special speaker last month. He toured several local nurseries, including this one.

I think our Hilo Judging Center photographer/judge
Glen Barfield probably took this one. You’ve probably seen his other photos.

I got this 9 weeks ago in flower and it’s flowering again. There’s also another spike.

When you're a tree in autumn but you really want to be a paint shop colour swatch. 🍁

Two trees side by side, with foliage in every colour from bright green to deep red.
