At the convention center.

Anyone going? I’ll be dragging the family there on Sunday.

Looks like a cool show.

2020 Orchid Vision Annual Orchid Show – Fort Lauderdale Orchid Society

I am not affiliated in any way, just passing this along and maybe getting to put some faces to some screen names

I bet your wallet is having an "Oh shit" moment, at least it will be.

It’s funny you say that. I am always giving myself strict budgets and such when I go to any show or similar buying opportunities...the best move for restraint is bringing my wife. Lol

Maybe you don't need to know the Tamiami show is the following week lest you have to reconsider your budget.

You should save/plan for the Redlands show in May.

(I was looking at vendors' schedules.)

oh Anon, i will be at Tamiami...that is an International show and I fully take advantage of letting the vendors deal with the customs and the annoyance i just hand them cash and get a plant i got to inspect first hand...score

and yes, my budget is reflective of the proximity of these two shows.....lets just say i plan to do a lot of LOOKING this weekend

lately i have been getting really into Native orchids since Florida has some and i have been finding it difficult to source them because i don't trust that people are not raping the Everglades so id like to meet the growers in person etc.

I’m going to be in Ft. Lauderdale in early Feb. and had been hoping it’d line up with a show... so sad our trip didn’t b/c I bet the shows down there are awesome!
