Going to waldor tomorrow
I'm headed to south jersey and to Waldor nurseries tomorrow. I have one pot ready to fill. I have to combat NJ dry winter air, and the only available spot is an east facing window. I am available to mist/water daily, and humidity in the house is about 30% now.
I'm looking for suggestions both for something to buy, and things not to miss while I'm there.
Thanks in advance!

Maxillaria tenuifolia. Flowers smell like coconut butter. Need I say more? Bright light. Temperature tolerant.
Sedirea japonica. Easier to flower and much more floriferous than Phalaenopsis. Capable of mulit-spiking. I think it's also much easier to grow than Phals too. Fragrant. Low light. Intermediate.

Waldor has some really great stuff. If I were going it would be like a child in a candy shop.
