Ooooo I hadn’t even heard about the pop up sale. I did just make a big order from Sunset Valley Orchids and I’m about to leave the country for a few weeks… so maybe not the best time to buy more new orchids.

But I suppose I can still go have a look 😆

Looking is free, but if I were a betting woman...I would guess if you went there, you would drop some coin.

You’re not wrong 😂

I missed the pre sale. BUT I would have liked to made a visit.

It was different than expected, yet a very fruitful venture. The space was tight, and people were actually running to the back gate from the end of a very long line. Southern courtesies absent, folks were shoving and pushing. However, I enjoyed it very much and will return anytime they show up in close proximity. Prices were phenomenal. selection was good, but I was mostly in it for the cattleyas. I can't speak for other genera. I restrained myself, mostly because my husband had the credit card.

I purchased 2 cattleyas (Laelia purpuratas). They are large, healthy plants with multiple leads. I am thrilled with my treasures.

Very nice! I haven't bought an orchid in person for years.

Portland next week where, after a 3 year search, I will be picking up 2 pre-ordered Cattleya Rex

Next year's purchases are going from Equagenera-- but online sadly. I bought a lot this year because I am just getting back into it, but from next year on, one or two a year.
