I went, anyone else? Tons of orchids. 5 followed me home.
A few other types of plants too, but not many:
I went this afternoon. There wasn't a single cut flower vendor. Most were orchids, though I saw one table with a nice selection of Tillandsias and Cryptanthus, Columneas.
The only aroid I saw was one small Amorphophallus titanum
There was a carnivorous plant vendor with pings venus flytraps and large and small species of pitcher plants
The rest were orchids. Andy's, J&L, Ecuagenera were all the most likely to have terrarium plants.
Pictures to follow.

Lots of interesting stuff at the Expo, though very little in the way of show. However, they did have these in center tables for show, but also for sale.
