Hi All! How was everyone's weekend. I went to the show on Saturday Night. By the time I got to the vendors they were closing shop. Oh well. So I went on Sunday. This time I showed up 1 hour before the vendors were closing shop. I got my self 2 Blc.'s 2 Slc.'s 1 Pot. a Phalaenopsis and a Cymbidium. My girlfriend Wendy took home the Cymbidium, the Slc. Wendy's Valentine, and the Phalaenopsis. I took home the other three. One of the Blc.'s however had all black roots when I came home. Cut them all off and soaked the plant this morning in rooting hormone from Rays First ORchids. Hopefully thats good. I also repotted it into orchid mix.
All in all, the 1 Blc's the Slc the Cymbidium and the Pot. all came out to $20!!! :cheer: and 15 on the Phal. and 10 on the second Blc with the rotted roots. :( I didn't get the chance to check out the roots of the others yet though. Hopefully they are better since they are potted differently. Pictures of the show and my aquisitions to come tonight.:D I had fun!!! |
Hope for the best. The prices there are really cheap!
|
WOOHOO - Can't wait to see your new babies!
Dorothy |
Well, if you go near the end, vendors start selling extra cheap so they don't have to take them home. I got my first Blc. not the one with the bad roots, for free. The vendor just threw it in.
|
Duh Me!
I have done that with other shows that I have gone to .. I should have realized it's the same for orchids ! :dumb:
Thanks for the tip :) :Tup: .. next years strategy!! :nod: :biggrin: Dorothy |
But probably the most interesting and rare clones were sold out at the beginning of the show.
|
Oh sure! I wanted to get myself a Phrag or two, which I saw at the table after they had closed on Saturday night. By the time I came back for them on Sunday, they were all gone.
Can you believe it, all the vendors would just leave their stands, orchids and all on display after they close shop. Security guards have to constantly tell people to put things back cause the vendor is no longer there. |

Yes, if you want something special you should come as early as possible, despite the crowd and higher prices...
|
So true!

I saw tons of beautiful looking Masdies and Phrag hybrids, and I still can't believe they don't value those. :hmm

You have to get the timing right...and hope that the stuff that's left is the stuff you want ;) I'm so glad to see you got the Slc. Wendy's Valentine... :dance: :dance: :dance: |
I was soo excited when I saw it for sale. I had to get it for her and especially since she was there.
Well, she turned out to be a cymbidium lover Sue. We got one for $5 and I have no clue how to tell her to care for it. She lives in a sunny apartment. |
I think the majority of Cyms want as much light as they can get without burning. :D
The girl just keeps showing she's got good taste ;) |
Is it mini or usual cymb?
|
Aww chucks Sue.
The Cymb for now is only 7 inches tall, maybe a bit small. I have no clue if it is supposed to be a miniature or not. I'll try to post those pics tonight :blushing: |
If it is mini it will tolerate the warmer temperatures.

Here are the pictures from the show. I can't believe no one has posted their pics yet. Here are the Pluerothalids Platystele umbellata http://www.orchidboard.com/community...a_Medium_1.JPG Masdevallia coccinea http://www.orchidboard.com/community...ea_Medium_.JPG Masdevallia ignea http://www.orchidboard.com/community...ea_Medium_.JPG Masdevallia fraseri http://www.orchidboard.com/community...ri_Medium_.JPG |
