Wouldn't miss it for the world Chryss. Since I only live 15 minutes away it's a must go to event. I plan to go on Friday, and maybe a day over the weekend too depending on our schedule. Delaware Orchid Society also has an exhibit so I'll probably be stopping by to keep an eye on the display.

I did a pre-order with Satomi at Seed-engei so I'm really stoked this year.

Hope to see you there.

Cheers.
Jim

That is a large specimen. Whatever you are doing is making that Neo really happy and healthy...I have mentors too(and they dont know they are my mentors)...two florists in the Flower disctrict of Manhattan and a botanist friend from Brooklyn Botanical Gardens...and they dont directly teach me; in fact they are wary if I ask questions: I just observe what they do and borrow their books

I'll look for you, Jim ! I'll be the one with the NOS energy drink hat !!!

Yeh, Bud, mine doesn't know he is my mentor, either !

When I went to the Pacific Orchid Expo in San Fran this year I got to meet the girl that runs Seed Engei. Very sweet and I was literally, in heaven with Neo overload! Had to pick up a few.

Pelepel, I got a seedling Neofinetia falcata v. Shutennou from her at last years Longwood show and will probably get another at this year's !!! AND maybe a traditional pot ! A plain one, nothing super fancy & expensive !!!
