New haul from ECOS show (picture heavy)

This is a group picture after the first day (first haul)


I was really lucky because my work as a volunteer was to translate french to english and back for 2 growers, one taught me how to repot neofinetias with long strands of moss in the traditional style and gave me neofinetia pots for my next potting in spring and the other gave my 1kg of honey (he is the producer) which was delicious and good advice for my new paph!

Only bad thing is, there was bugs, I got scared and sprayed everyone as a precaution with a 0.5% bleach solution, it did kill all the bugs (more like dried them until they dropped) but it also dried and killed the flowers and buds... the plants on the other hand did not mind the treatment!
