I don't know if you wound up going today, but I personally didn't think it was worth it. I showed up about 2 hours into the sale and it was very crowded. They didn't have any slipper orchids left. They only had a handful to start, since the gardener kept all the phrags and most of the paphs. They had mostly large noid phals (mostly solid white or violet), some oncidium (a few with tags, most without), some vanda (brown) and a few dendrobium (without flowers, but with tags). If I had arrived earlier, there may have been a better selection, and as I stood deliberating, the non-Phal choices got noticeably smaller. Someone commented that they thought they'd all be gone by tomorrow. I will probably not go again next year, but I did buy a couple plants.
I plan to go to the show on Saturday.
