16WOC, VANCOUVER - PART TWO


    Photos by Lois Greer, except where otherwise captioned.

The show was in the wonderful convention center on the harbor!

Look up to the far end of the right shoreline - the "sails" are the roof of the convention center. It's mindful of the opera house in Sydney Harbor.

The Taiwan Sugar Company display formed an entryway into the show. It was pure magic!

Myriads of phalaenopsis! Pots of them around the base of the two sides, plants intertwined in the grapevine framework, and hundreds of little glass balls hang, each bearing a phalaenopsis bloom! The two sides were floored with Mylar, effectively doubling the number of blooms gently wafting in its reflection.

What a wonderful way to display Phal. amabilis and its generations of hybrids!

This shows how intricately grapevine was woven to form the hut-like structures forming the two sides of the entranceway.

This enormous exhibit featured a photographer in full field regalia, and what marvelous photo opportunities he enjoyed!

And a lovely glasshouse and garden, resplendent with waterfall.
