IOS '09 spring show - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**shumozar** · 03-22-2009, 03:53 PM

Illinois Orchid Society is having their spring show this weekend. I didn't get many pics, but here's a few. Leo figured out how to get my camera off auto white balance & my photos improved a lot but then I was told I couldn't use a tripod!
Tricholipia Charles

Cym. traceyanum, a nice impressive plant

Drac. chimaera

Kovachi x longifolium, even though the petals twist, I like this one better than those with straight droppy petals.

I clerked for the first time! It was fun, I'll do it again! I was on a team with Ernie, Herman (Oak Hill Gardens) & John from WI, a catt person if I remember. I also sat in on the AOS judging, which takes some patience! Besides Tom's 4 awards, there were 2 Phrag Alfredo ____ (kov x's) & a trichoglottis got a CBM.
The small haul -
Ernie brought me a roth & dunkel.
Ecuagenera - Trisetella hoerjeri & masd. caudata.
Natt's - Psychopsis Mendenhall 'Yellow Butterfly' in spike!

Nice taste.

**Kubasarika** · 03-23-2009, 03:26 AM

Thanx for sharing. Clerking can be fun and educational. Phrag Alfredo Manrique. What was the logic behind not letting you use the tripod, was it that crowded?

**shumozar** · 03-23-2009, 03:57 AM

It wasn't that crowded, there were several of us & yes they were afraid we were going to trip people up. It's sad when one doesn't have to watch where they're walking!

At the Edmonton show in February, tripods were only supposed to be used for a few hours on Sunday. However, I still saw people using them on the Saturday when I was there. I actually saw one lady stumble over a bag of photography equipment, but not an actual tripod. With the crowds that were at the show, I can understand why they didn't want lots of tripods, but I think people like me with a digital camera were actually an annoyance as well to some people who just wanted to gawk at that flowers and not have anyone in their way. I got a few evil looks from people when I was snapping away.

It is easy to get distracted at orchid shows!

**shumozar** · 03-23-2009, 05:26 PM

It is easy to get distracted, I agree but it's also easy to get distracted when you're driving too! We still need to pay attention & watch where we're going, it's a two way street!
I can't tell you how many times I've attempted to take a pic & if you leave enough room between you & the ropes, people will walk into that little space & then stand there right in front of you! It's amazing I have as much hair as I do!

Hi Rose, it was great seeing you again at the IOS show. For years the IOS show would be open for photographers with tripods from 9 to 10 am on SAT and 7 am to 10 am on SUN. Some years (especially like in 2002 and 1997) we'd get thousands of people in the exhibit hall, and then the tripod is a real issue. Saturday was not crowded, I don't see why they complained, except that has been a standing tradition for 25+ years.

I like your pictures, in case anyone was wondering the Trichopillia really was about that red. Very Neat.

**Kubasarika** · 03-23-2009, 08:40 PM

In case anyone was wondering, the Pk x longifolium is really doing the Meatwad dance!

It was the first time in years I didn't go...I was sad about it all weekend, but my partner in crime couldn't make it either so the impetus just wasn't there. It's a great show though. Maybe next year.
