Great story maria!
I was really impressed by Louisiana Orchid Connection too!

I got the Phal amboinensis v flava and the Phal Formosa Dream from them. If it weren't for all the other great vendors, I could've easily spent all my time and money right there!

Their web site is now in my favorites:
Louisiana Orchid Connection

There was also a little Oriental lady with a lot of Phal species...I got 6 of them from her but I found no company name on the tag...have an email in to Bill Fajen as he was the good friend who kept pointing out more species for me to buy! Thanks Bill

Wow, Maria! You must have had TWO Cuban coffees before you went to the show, because you were jammin'. Looks like you got some good stuff! I'm sorry I didn't get to meet you but I didn't have your phone number. Oh well, next year. I did get to see GotAnts. He was leaving as I was getting there at noon. Then I slowly covered the whole place (for the second time because I was there yesterday, too). They finally kicked me out at 5pm. I will write about all my new stuff later. Gotta go take off price tags and hide stuff before my family sees it!

The little Oriental lady I spoke about was Ching Hua Orchids...I just unpotted the 7 Phals I got from her and they're gorgeous! Really nice root systems on every one...can't wait to see them blooming

They're from out of the country but for future reference, if you're going to a show in the future where they will be a vendor it might be a good idea to stop by their tent ...or if you're going to the show tomorrow

I'm thrilled with what I got from her

I can't complain about any vendor's plants, every one is healthy and happy

I am disappointed to realize that I seem to have missed an entire 'arm' of the park! I missed seeing Oak Hill and my friend Ty from Plantio de Orquideas

I get to see Ty at all the local shows but I missed a rare chance to say hi to the Oak Hill folks...sorry

Something's a little off with that sentence. Innocent sentence gone wrong?
