Default What a great group orchid-shopping trip!
Yesterday a few of us got together and went down to Louis Del Favero's place in Tampa. Dana (CoolPhrog, formerly irphrog), Laura (LauraN), Linda (catlady) and myself dragged Dana's and my husband along for the ride and came home with LOADS of new chids!

I got:

Pluerothallis brighamii
Gastrochilus dasypogon (in bloom)
Blc Husky Boy 'Romeo' HCC/AOS (a really cute yellow in bud)
Masd Keiki Komodo (in bloom)
Phal cornu-cervi (in bloom)
and
Pot Kozo's Scarlett 'Vi-Emi' (in bud)...this one is a gorgeous red Catt with a wonderful fragrance (Linda took one in bloom at the moment and

I'll post pictures a little later

I also got Ccs senilis and Tolu Memoria Ralph Nagi from Dana...which makes me the first person to have orchids from Dana's new business, CoolPhrog Orchids!



Had a great weekend with Dana and her husband Scott staying here for the weekend and then spending the day together with Laura and Linda makes for a very happy ME!

Now that sounds like a LOT more fun than going present shopping in a jam packed mall 4 days before xmas! I wish I could do your sort of shopping trip.

I didn't take a picture of the Pluerothallis brighamii, it's a cute llttle guy on a tree-fern mount, not in bloom or bud.

In order, the thumbnails are:

Gastrochilus dasypogon
Blc Husky Boy 'Romeo' HCC/AOS
Masd Keiki Komodo
Phal cornu-cervi
Pot Kozo's Scarlett 'Vi-Emi'

The other gals also got lots of cool stuff! Great day!

Susanne, it sounds like you guys had a great time. And, I loves those pictures you posted.

BTW, is that the weather you guys in FL are having??? I am in Pacific NW and got stuck in 8" of snow with freezing rain. I am so ready for spring already.
