Default Porters Openhouse

I made a little jaunt to Porters on Saturday and invited another OB member to go with me. We spent about 3 hours there. It was so nice to pick Bill Porter's brain. Dot was also there and, as you know, she has a wealth of info inside that head of her's. It was like 'Old Home Week' attending another openhouse. They always have a large lunch table and, believe me, just their fresh fruit salad alone is always worth the trip.

We didn't only raid the lunch table ........we did purchase some plants which were 25% off for the Open House. I bought 4 Sarochilus plants and a Rhctm.

Heidi (hartmannii 'Reynella' X fitzhart 'Christies'
hartmannii ('Bob Dean' X 'Clean Waters')
Fitzhart 'Mango Lips' (hartmanii X fitzgerald)
'Judith' (Melba X Fitzhart)
Rhctm. 'Lilac Blossom'. I have only had time to repot Judith and Heidi

Wouldn't that be nice? The pots are Erin pots from England.
