Eastern Districts Orchid Society Show - Cattleyas | Part 1

Hey Everyone,
I have spent the most wonderful two days with the members of Eastern Districts Orchid Society (EDOS), of which I'm also a member.  Last night was the set-up for our 47th Annual Autumn Show, and today was the first day, and tomorrow the last.  I bought some wonderful plants, and there have been plenty of anecdotes, but they shall have to wait, because for now, I think I'll just upload some of the Cattleya place-getters, and then pop off to bed, so I'm bright-eyed and bushy-tailed for the show tomorrow.

Well, the show is now over, I started this post on Saturday, and I've been so busy since, and it's not until now (Tuesday) that I've been able to finish part one.

There's been some hectic plant related things going on lately, and it's been an absolute hoot.  But more on that soon... I promise,

Happy Gardening,

Michael
