Harry gives good presentations, nice to hear you got something spiffy and are happy.
They make it hard and ... stoke the fires as it were, feed the addiction, with titillatingly gorgeous new stuff every time you turn around.

I want to know how you were able to get 11 orchids for $45, that is a fantastic deal. Which vendor's did you buy from? Are they seedlings or larger plants?
Very good shopping.

Well i waited till sunday to buy, and they had blooming size cuttings for $5 and seedlings were buy one get one free. Plus, some sellers just decided to give me free orchids LOL

Great shopping and smart, waitin for Sunday is a good idea as a lot of vendors don't want to repackage for the trip home so they give good deals.

LOL Good job!! Great snags for the money for sure. Katrin (the Wife) said there was one vendor (a friend of hers) having a sale at the end too, "Buy one, Get Four Free!", lol but they were all Scaphosepalums (which I like a lot btw, they match my goatee and mustache) and so were kind of hard to get rid of for him.
Some sold well and others struggled the whole show ... you just never know. Looking forward to having my sweety back home to hug and snuggle.
I think she also said that you had bought two plants there from her (Andy's Orchids) if she recognized you correctly, lol a brassivola nodosa and something else I forget what she told me ... she has a memory that is just phenomenal, lol not like mine at all.
I have to stop and re-read the beginning of the thread to finish my posts properly and I know that my birthday is on my license which is in my wallet that is in my back pocket attached to my buttocks.
Or so that's what the stick-um note on the bathroom mirror says.

I did buy a bunch from where your wife was i believe!!
Maybe you can ask her for a little help on something. I bought a catt from Joseph Wu orchids and i forgot to write down the name and its driving me crazy!! Maybe you can ask her to ask the guy in that booth for his number or what was the name of the white catt he sold for $5.00 today?? I would be eternally greatful and name my firstborn for your sake

Yeah, I went nuts.

I'm sorry I could not make it to Santa Barbara but I'm sure the San Diego show on the weekend of April 5 is going to cause my wallet to implode from the suction caused from the money leaving so fast.
