I'm so sorry Bolero (and Sonya, who I promised to take photos for) but I was completely overwhelmed and forgot to take pics. Was all caught up in chatting about the technical side of growing my babies with people who shared my passion. It was my first fair, so I'll try and do better next time.
Its a shame I didn't get pics of the bromelaid seller, was the most amazing sight. I'm not a big fan of broms, but they were all beautifully presented in a rainbow of colours in an area of about 10 square foot. Was breathtaking.
I picked up a flier for the Melbourne fair while I was there, and that will apprently be held on 21st, 22nd & 23rd of August at Springers Leisure Centre, Keysborough. From the looks of it it should be a lot bigger than the Sydney leg as its combined with the Melbourne Orchid Spectacular. But I'm just reading from a pamphlet here. All I can say is that if its like the one that I went to, it should be awesome with lots of great vendors, a wide range of plants and a lot of fun in the atmosphere.
If you love orchids, it'll be worth the trip.
