Today I went to the orchid show at Blomsterlandet on Backaplan. I did not have the greatest of expectations, but I was still disappointed… There were pretty much just a bunch of phal hybrids, bellara/cambria, and a bunch of other no-name hybrids… From the looks of things only one grower (Stenåsa from Varberg) was part of the exhibit. Maybe had I gone when they opened on Wednesday I would have found more…
None the less I came home with a purple Dendrobium compactum with two flower stalks with buds just about to open. That will brighten up the kitchen over the holidays.
