Let's talk about the Redlands experience...

[tucker85]

I had a great time at Redlands also. I really enjoyed the AOS tent. Those award winning orchids made me want to come home and throw rocks at my plants. I did a lot of walking, had a nice lunch there and spoke to many interesting people. That was the first time I've met Martin Motes. His book is my bible on orchids.

Hi Tucker

I feel the same about Martin and Vandas!
He's also a really really nice man to talk to

I only picked up a few plants at Redlands.
Blc. Maria Bockman from R.F. Orchids
Blc. Orglades Happy Face X Lc Spring Fire 'Lenette' (a nice orange and red catt.)
Burr Stefan Isler 'Lava Flow' (I don't think it will grow here with our hot summer. We'll see)
C. Schilleriana x C. Peckhaviensis (won 2nd place ribbon in the AOS tent)
Enc. Cordigera var. Roseum (Fills my whole patio area with a wonderful fragrance. It was also an awarded plant)

OK guys (and gals) thanks for the description of your buys and experiences. It seems like I remember a website for the show but cannot find it. Can someone tell me what it is. I need the info on hotels, location of the show, etc. in order to make my plans for next year. I will have to fly there, rent an electric scooter, stay a couple of nights, etc. Thanks for any help.
