Blooms on Broadway New York Botanical Expo
 

Hi all,

I think this is the first flower show and sale in NYC since the last Orchid Show sponsored by GYNOS about 4 years ago.

Please see the following links for info, its this coming weekend!!!

Blooms Botanical Expo | New York

http://www.orchidboard.com/community...=2013-2-21&c=1

I'm going there the first night.
Very excited about what I will see!

Wish I could see it. Sounds like a great event.

Thanks for the info, Tindo.....

Totally going to try to go, thanks!

I went, anyone else? Tons of orchids. 5 followed me home.
A few other types of plants too, but not many:
I went this afternoon. There wasn't a single cut flower vendor. Most were orchids, though I saw one table with a nice selection of Tillandsias and Cryptanthus, Columneas.
The only aroid I saw was one small Amorphophallus titanum
There was a carnivorous plant vendor with pings venus flytraps and large and small species of pitcher plants
The rest were orchids. Andy's, J&L, Ecuagenera were all the most likely to have terrarium plants.

Pictures to follow.

I went on the opening night and also bought 5 orchids. lol
wanted to get some more but 5 was more than my limit already.

I was there today i got
Macroclinium manabinum
and
Cattleya warscewiczii bare root
it was good, wish there were more species,
person from Ecuagenera was telling me no one in NY is interested in buying Epidendrum, Lycaste, Maxillaria. she had some nice species.

Lots of interesting stuff at the Expo, though very little in the way of show. However, they did have these in center tables for show, but also for sale.
