I'm thinking about checking out the FWCOS orchid show in Largo, FL this weekend. Anybody else thinking of attending?

The 4 of us went to the show this morning...and it was really a great day! The displays were lovely and there were 12 orchid vendors to enjoy
I came home with 5 new chids and when those were added to all that my friends bought, the entire back of the vehicle was stuffed with chids and I had the huge one sitting on the floor up in the front seat with me...it wouldn't fit in the back!

One of the best shows I've been to as far as plenty of choices and decent prices. A few were a bit pricey but most of what we saw were very affordable.

I came home with:

(from Phelps Farms):

Smbc Margaret Brown x C Bactia 'Grape Wax'
(this one is gigantic and a first bloom seedling!)

Brs Sunrise Glow 'Phelps Farm' AM/AOS (bareroot, not in bloom)

Phal Hymenata - mounted, blooming, additional spikes...happy, happy

Bc Maikai
(C bowringiana 'Luster' x B nodosa 'Weaver'
This is my second Bc Maikai but I couldn't resist the deep purple coloring

(From Krull-Smith):

Ctsm Donna Wise 'Amber' AM/AOS x Ctsm Donna Wise 'Kathleen'
This one has two spikes full of buds

My friends picked up a number of GORGEOUS chids too!
