NH Media Makers

I’ve been going to the NH Media Makers meetups for a while now (almost a year!) and wanted to give the Media Makers meetup idea and especially the New Hampshire instantiation of same a big appreciative shout out. Interesting, personable, creative people doing wicked awesome pissah stuff – what’s not to love? I’ve made great connections and been inspired; it’s a great way to spend a Sunday morning.

NHOS Orchid Show – 2010 edition

Just as I did last year, I’m going to highlight a few plants that I found particularly interesting.

Dendrobium smilliae – the Bottlebrush Orchid hails from northern Australia and PNG. The flower clusters are amazingly glossy – just a stunner.

*

Paph. Salvador Dali – a hybrid, and a wild one. Almost enough hair to wax up a moustache tip.

*

Masdevallia ignea – a native of New Grenada according to Curtis’s Botanical Magazine Vol. 98 (1872) – second image ganked from Google books.
