Orchid Shopping today :D
I cancelled our shopping trip to Byrd's Orchids in Lakeland, FL this past weekend due to bad weather. We went this morning instead  We didn't get to shop at B&D and Featherstone, who were the guest vendors on Saturday but we had a ball walking around Byrd's greenhouses 
I got:
Paph Stone Isles (in bloom)
Bulb Doris Dukes ...I know! Me buying a Bulbo! 
C Chocolate Drop 'NOK' which was high on my wish list 
and Lc Netrasiri 'Fireball' x Pot Thi-Ti 'Ni" ...Netrasiri being another from the wish list |

Very nice acquisitions. Especially the Chocolate Drop!  How far away is Lakeland from where you live? Briggs Hill Orchids is about a 3 hour drive one way for me. They have a small greenhouse, but lots of unusual stuff. I'm thinking about making a drive up there.  |

Hi Terri
I'm really excited about the Chocolate Drop! I went there looking for a Netrasiri but Bill had a large Chocolate Drop in his private collection (that he graciously allowed us to peruse :clap) ). When I asked if he had another, he at first said he didn't but a few minutes later he came into the greenhouse looking for me carrying this huge 'chid!
When I also found the Netrasiri hybrid, I was thrilled!
Lakeland is about an hour's drive, maybe a little more. |
