WOW!!! :faint: :faint: :faint:

OH WOW! LOVE the last one! I can't believe that's all one plant! How exciting!

Fabulous pictures!! I wish we got orchid shows anywhere remotely close to my city!!

great photos. So did you enjoy the show and where are the pics of your haul?? Were all your plants in good shape?

Cavs n' Orchids, we travel 500km and 650km for shows but it doesn't stop us :)

Stunning pics!

I know what you mean! The closest Canadian city that has shows is just over 700 kms from us, and I have done it once, 5 years ago, and hope to do it again this spring!! (fingers crossed!). With the cost of gas and hotels (and orchids) it ends up being a verrry expensive weekend, so the hubby doesnt let me go every year. :( Its so worth it though! Such a wonderful experience!

Do you go to the Foothills show, or the MOS one?

Thank you everyone.
Silken, I did enjoy the show. I did notice though that there were too many paphs and phrags of different types and shapes, but very little of my favorites - vandas.
I was happy with the conditions of plants from Ten Shin Gardens and will definitely order from them again, but two of my plants (phal. javanica and tetraspisXlobii) from their order didn't make it through the border because somebody forgot to put somewhere some stamp on documents - a bit of disappointment.
Ecuagenera pre-order came a bit dried out, but in general -ok.
Besides my pre-ordered plants I bought from the show small Oncidium Sharry Baby and large Ascda Princess Mikasa Blue in spike!
I will post pics of my haul a bit later when everyone is nicely potted.
If anyone wants to see more pics from show, there are some more here:

Thank you for looking.

I just went to the Foothills one and the one in Edmonton is in Feb. Our society always has a display in both the Alberta shows. I have never heard of anyone going to the Winnipeg one in the 4 or 5 years that I have been a society member. I guess that would be a good 700 km. for us. I am amazed that in Ontario you would have to go that far! That is about as far as a person could justify and I agree, gas and hotels and orchids $$$
