MOS show comments and acquisitions

[Oldguypops]

Did you get to the MOS show???
How did you like it?
What did you think of the new location?
What did you sneak into the house from the show?

I thought the show was a success.

It appeared that the sales were brisk and constant, the displays were awesome, and everyone was patient and helpful. I was pleased to see the variety of orchids for sale there and the venders were very helpful, if not harried at times due to the crowds. The selection of paph's was amazing, and gave me a greater appreciation for this amazing orchid. (As you can see, my collection of them is growing!)

The only drawback that I saw was the lack of space. I think they could easily double the sales and display areas and still fill them without a problem.
Like my son said in his 'mini's' thread, we spent as much time working our way through the crowds as we did looking/shopping, not that it slowed down our buying at all!

I don't collect the 'micro's' like my son does, but I am starting to collect more compact plants.

Here is what I picked up;

Aerangis citrata
Den. Yellow Chinsai 'Little Joe'
Den. Tosaense 'Jacob' CBR/AOS
Paph. Sakhakulii
Paph. Delenatii
Phal. Equestris

None are in bloom, but half are in spike. (Pictures of these and the show will follow in a day or two.)

I know it's small potatoes to many of you major addicts, but my minor addiction has reached 40 orchids..... and I'm still married!
