Newbie from southern Ontario! :)

Welcome to both of you in Ontario. I too like Cloud's and ordered 7 plants a few weeks ago. They all are doing well. Wish they were closer.

There is also a large show coming up the end of the month at RBG, and there will be several vendors there, probably including clouds. You are very disciplined, I also love clouds, and have attended their sales weekends, however I never seem to leave there without a new dozen or 15 plants. Hope you can get to the show.

I made it to the RBG show and managed to *only* walk away with 7 new orchids! 6 were from clouds and they were only 5 bucks/bones a pop! My apartment looks like a jungle. I've considered re-homing some of my generic houseplants to make room. You know you're an addict when...

Oh and I also walked away with an RBG membership! haha

What did you get? Would you happen to have any pics of your new 'chids?

I also attended but couldn't get near the Clouds display too many people there. I did get an assortment of 6 paphs, catts and mini den from various venders. They look happy at home so far.

I absolutely loved the displays because I got to see orchids I've never seen live before. The orchids were absolutely stunning.

You won't regret it. You'll learn lots and have the opportunity to trade/buy/sell plants and divisions at very good prices. Glad that you enjoyed the show. It was the first time in 4 years that I missed it , too much going on.

I really should take photos of all my plant pets. Unfortunately, I dropped my camera a few weeks back while trying to take a picture of this amazing frog and now the lens won't come out (true story!). BOO! I'll work on the camera situation! haha
