It was the last meeting in the year for the Orchid Society of Great Britain. After a brief slide show, we had nice Christmas lunch and enjoyed eating and chatting over a glass of wine.
After that was the photo competition which is held once a year in December. For me, it was the first time to attend the meeting in December, so as the photo competition. I submitted several photographs which I took when I was in Peru, and I won the first prize for one of them!
It was this, Sobralia dichotoma Ruiz & Pavón. We saw this orchid in Paucartambo for the first time, but this particular Sobralia was at the Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel. I thought it very interesting with an insect, possible pollinator. Is this?
The prize was a nice bottle of champagne! I will drink it in Christmas.
