The Greater North Texas Orchid Society (GNTOS) 2017 Show was filled with beautiful orchids. The crowd-pleasing favorites (cattleyas, paphiopedilums, phalaenopsis) were present in good numbers. But the special treat is always when we get to see varieties which are somewhat unusual, or to see a variation of a species in a color which is unexpected for that species. Surprises like that are what makes it so much fun to attend orchid shows. There is always something new to see, something new to learn.
Here is a sampling for you to enjoy.
