LOL and that is what I paid for the same show ....but we also got admission to the Botanical garden included in the fee ...and my cousin who had never been to a Botanical garden much less a orchid show was totaly awed by the climatron and made the 3 hour drive and the $26 admission more than worth it ...Plus LOL I got to meet Jewel as well and was totaly awed by her knowledge of orchids.In fact Have one new chid that I probably would never see except in a picture because she recognized what it is and said ....oh wow you need one of these they are hard to find....

The Houston OS show will be held in April in the Museum of Natural Science and the admission is free. We had it there last year too and the consensus of opinion is that is was a success.
I am willing and have paid the admission to the Climatron and the grounds when we were there but I am a little reluctant to pay admission otherwise.
Is an admission fee charged to shows like Redlands?
