Rhyncholaeliocattleya Beverly Blietz 'Volcano Queen' and (Cym. Agrivaine x Cym. Sylvania) 'Rose Passion' were two recent gifts from Betty (espranch) and Andy (members of our forum). I met them while visiting my family for my dad's birthday. They drove to Tyler on a Saturday morning (even after a tornado knocked down trees on their property early that morning) to meet me, Louis, and my parents to give these orchids to me.

It was really great to meet them. We talked for a few minutes, took a few photos and were on our way as it was a rushed weekend (one day) visit with my family in Texas. I was so happy to get to meet Betty and Andy in person. Anyway, here are a few photos to share.
