Ha - so you did get a Catt - well it's sink or swim time for both of us!

Looking forward to seeing your pics.

I started adding a pic here, but decided to start a new thread for our pics which you can find here...

It was lovely to meet both of you! Talking to you both makes me feel less crazy now

I'm not sure what happened though, I thought I'd walk away with a couple of Flowering Hybrids (Oncidium, Milts, Catt etc)and my Phal equestris. I was even eyeing up the ones you bought Nic, the Phal Mini Mark and Dendrobium Polar Fire.
As it turned out I walked away with Phal equestris alba, Neofinetia falcata, Ophrys apifera and Dendrochilum cobbianum. Only two of those in spike/flower I do love a challenge!

The Orchid Displays were beautiful, the Gardens magical and the day over all fantastic!
Walking past the main display was worth it even if you had you eyes closed, the scent was literally breath taking!
The store holders were all very Jolly, which was nice.

Will be sorting out an album too, including some from the Tatton Orchid House and the Gardens (though identifications may be lacking). So much to see and absorb, felt a bit like a sensory overload.

Sorry I haven't replied sooner but I was suffering a bit with heat stroke by the end of the day. The weather was certainly good.

Best of luck with the Catts!

Oooh! Pictures!

It's SO cool that there was an OB get-together on the other side of the pond! YAY!

Sounds like you all had a lovely time and got some really nice chids!

Thanks for sharing the experience with us

I was really glad we met up. We hadn't fully arranged to meet, just shared pictures of ourselves with each other so that we might have a chance at recognising each other.

It worked and it really helped make the day wonderful.

I agree whole-heartedly! It made the day!
