So lets say you don't like yellow or pink and prefer soft beige to a rust tone colored shirt, now thats the ticket with a slight rearrangement of the laelia bottom left.

The purple basket softer purple would offset the other purple orchids...just my 2 cents worth.

OK OK wording won...definite color change for the word "orchids"...with a cute tiny orchid of choice in front

The designs are computer generated and can't be moved around. I also don't want to change the colors of what the bloooms should be so...

I'm thinking the first pic, with the wording in light blue on a darker blue shirt. That way everything would stand out

Number 2 with a very dark forest green basket on a white shirt. JMHO

How often is the WOC held in the U.S.? I saw the previous one was held in France. I would love to go, but I don't think I could get the time off, or afford to go after buying my orchidarium...guess I'll have to wait for the next one that is held in the U.S. again....what a bummer...I hate waiting!

Becca...it's been over two decades since the last one was held in the U.S.!

Oh I want to go so bad! May I ask on average....how much is it costing for those who are going.....I think it would take a miracle to talk my hubby into letting me take the trip...lol....and I doubt there are any rooms left as it is.....

You can get all that info on the WOC web site:

I'm just going for one day at the show which will cost $20.00 to get in to. We booked our hotel, 2 miles from the show site, months ago and got a decent price.

If there's any way you can swing it...do it!
I know that the trip is not possible for some folks and those of us that are going, I'm sure, will be posting loads of pictrues when it's all said and done

I just priced airfare only....I think I will have to survive with just the pictures posted from of those who go ....it is about 400.00 each round trip from where I live and that doesn't even include the hotel and meals for two, or a rental car! It would easily be over $1000 for me and my hubby to go....
