Overall, there was a nice selection of plants at the WOC. Since I'm a fanatical hobbyist, I was on the look out for the rare, unusual and hard to find. I was not interested in things in bloom, clones, or the general pot plant.
Although I'm not a Paph grower, there were several paph vendors, including a few from Taiwan. One vendor had plants of P. hangianum, helenae, and a few more. I'm not sure if these were "legal" plants.....
Of course Frank Smith had fabulous paphs available at his booth.
For those with unlimited budgets, you could buy Phrag. kovachi and its hybrids.
For those looking for THE black orchid, there were unbloomed seedling of the now famous Fredclarkeara After Dark available at Frank's booth.
I found some cool unusual things at Hoosier orchids.
There were several Phillippine vendors with some species I've never seen before.
Andrea from Columbia was there with some cool Lepanthes and other Pleurothallids. I bought the only single plant of a miniature Dichea--very cool!
Neofinetia collector could drop their whole budget at Seed Engei's booth. Great Neos from Japan.
Several vendors had flasks available.
H and R Nurseries from Hawaii was there with a fine selection of species and Dendrobium hybrids
There were several vendors from Brazil with hard to get Cattleya species, as well as Sophronitis and Laelias.
I was disappointed that there were no vendors from Australia, and only one from Japan.
All in all, I had no problem spending and buying!
