I visited friends in Miami and took them to the Tamiami show. When I arrived they were surprised that I brought an empty suitcase. It didn't leave empty.

For orchid lovers, we get them home any way we can! I included a flattened box, packing paper, and tape in my suitcase for a recent trip from Alabama to San Diego. Bought two Paphs home in the overhead bin. The buds didn't even blast. Yay!

On my bucket list now is the Tamiami show in Oct; may need to drive my pickup!!!

A. Ship dirty laundry home via UPS or USPS ground service. Stuff suitcase with orchids.

B. Bring only old clothing, and toss it. Stuff suitcase with orchids.

C. Buy cardboard box at Home Depot. Fill it with loot, and ship home via FEDEX (UPS will not ship live plants).

D. Same as 'C', except pay the additional luggage fee and bring on plane.

There will be the show at Krull-Smith for the International Vanda and Slipper Symposium the first weekend of November. Plenty of cool vanda and slippers but also tons of everything else at the show itself too. All the greenhouses will be open for people to walk through and see all the plants in bloom. Symposium should be fun with speakers like Dr. Motes, Bob Fuchs, Peter Lin, Harold Koopowitz, etc.

The Tamiami festival vendor list has been updated and posted on their website, notably the Hawaii usual suspects (Carmela, Kawamoto, H&R) including one of my favorites (H&R) are not on the list, with covid being what it is in FLA it is not surprising.

Well, don't forget that H&R is going out of business soon as Harry and Roy retire. I suspect that might play a significant role as well!

Yes, I have heard that and I feel its just another painful nail in the hobby collector's orchid world's coffin.
How long a list can be assembled of the orchid nurseries that have gone out of business in the past 25 years? The orchid world is evolving and constricting and I miss the old days, but Ohh well
"c'est la vie!"
