New Memeber - Grand Prize Winner

[Sylvia]

Hi Everyone,
My husband and I just went to the South Florida Orchid Expo this past weekend (Saturday) in Miami with the intention of educating ourselves and maybe buying an orchid.
I signed us up for the raffle while my hubby parked the truck (he let us out at the door) and filled out two tickets.
We had a great time at the show, met some very informative growers and bought a Tokyo Blue, Vanda.
Sunday evening I got a call from Martin Motes informing me I won the grand prize at the expo!
The prize is 65 orchids, potting supplies, food supplies, professional photo, baskets and two books from Mr. Motes and his lovely wife.
They asked if I could come down to pick all this up but we live an hour away and it was late.
Mr. Motes politely invited me to pick everything up at his orchid compound the next day.
I drove out to Homestead and met him and his wife, they were so gracious and nice. They helped me load everyhing up in my car, signed copies of their books and sent me on my way.
I still cannot believe my luck, I'm so excited sorting through everything and setting up my backyard into my new orchid sanctuary.
I will have lots of questions for the forum and I do apologize for this rambling post but I thought I should put my new found luck into perspective.
Kind Regards,
