Slipper Orchids. But about 90% of judges have this first choice I think.

Omg, I wish I could go! It would be like orchid paradise! I would probably be able to find every 'chid on my wishlist.

Interesting Bolero, I'm not positive on that around here, i will have to quiz some of the judges I'll be traveling with. Cody, if you were able to find everything on your wish list, good luck trying to gEt it home!!!! Will be the first time in my life I will practice any form of restraint regarding orchids. Hopefully I don't come home with 10 flasks....cause that is just not practical!!!!!

Ok, I still don't understand this word called 'restraint' that you people occasionally use. You should buy plenty of flasks, that way you can share with us fellow Canadians that can't go.

Wow, good for you. I guess you're familiar with some of the vendors, or have you done a lot of homework? I just don't seem to have the time, patience or luck for tiny plants. Still....if it's all that I'm able to bring home, I may have to give it a try, how could I come home empty handed????

Hmmm, I think you will be able to get your purchases home. I remember reading an article in Orchids about a WOC, and it did mention that all the agencies for all the paperwork needed to get the orchids home where at the conference building.

I think it may be not as simple as we are led to believe Cody to bring them home. Our group leader is still checking into things in this regard.

It's very easy for Australians but might need more paperwork for the USA. They have experience with the paperwork so they may be able to help at the conference.

We can bring up to 6 flasks into Australia each without paperwork.

Well, I do hope you can figure it out, as it would really suck going there and not being able to bring anything back.
