Smile Zygo.

Oh so it's a ZYGO... I knew it was something like that

I fell in love with this one the second I saw it, but since I had only planned on taking 1 home with me i wasnted to make sure it was the one. There were like 9 on the table when I walked away to look at everything else, didn't really see anything else that I liked as much. By the time I got back to the table this was the last one. My LUCKY day. I didn't think it smelled at first I didn't smell anything but the BF complained the whole way home about it smelling. Hes got a sensitive nose LOL. I smell it now that its home, It smells sweet. Gives me another reason to love it

I enjoyed it. With about 20 displays (some of them HUGE) there was a lot to look at.

For those of you who weren't there, I'll be posting pics from the show. Word of warning -- that post is going to be majorly picture heavy! (sorry my fellow dial-ups)

Was a bit cramped in the display areas. As far as the vending area went ... seems like that area is ALWAYS crowded no matter the show

I actually came home with some items without spending any money. Plant names available upon request. LOL

Beautiful flowers and photos, Paul!
What are the orchids in the 3rd and second to last (and last, they look the same) photos. Please


Is a head to head like a face-off?

Welcome to the club, Princess.
That is a very nice Zygo. I think you need to take your mom to the next show and she may get hooked too!

You made some beautiful selections Paul.
It was nice to meet you and get a chance to talk, and put a face with a name. You definately 'know your stuff' concerning orchids.

(I'm assuming you worked those orchids off?)

Nope, Greg, didn't buy any of them period. Chris has it correct. A couple of the venders needed help. In compensation, I obtained the aforementioned aquisitions.

In order they are

Iwanagara Apple Blosssum 'Fantastic'
(Not as nice as 'Nora', IMO, but I haven't found anyone who carries that clone for years now)

Odcm Tiger Crow 'Golden Girl'
(This one is going to take some nursing back to health -- it had lost most of its roots. I can be such a sucker for a sad case)

C. "iamafakus"

Eplc Brilliant
(No one wanted the poor lil thing, so........)

Pot Love Avenue 'Serenade'
