Local orchid show

My local orchid club, Oklahoma Orchid Society, held our annual show and sale on Mother's Day weekend.  I took off work on Friday to help set up and then ventured back on Saturday with Christie and Myla to enjoy the show.  It was a small show, as usual, but nice.

I carried Myla around while Christie took photos for me.  First, I'll show off the Dendrobium.

  2. Lovely orchids, really do admire and love them all.

    I once kept in my apartment, but then I moved to a new location and they did not survived the move,though I gave them the same amount of care.
