Got my fingers crossed for V Pat Delight

[Tindomul]

Oh Sue!!!!! They are really cool!!!

[Shadow]

I don't know which one is better. Probably, the first one. I like the bright colours.

I know a Pat Kasem you know. I'm not sure if she is the Pat kasem. But the Kasem part is significant though. Married relation to casey.

If the bloom isn't perfect, I doubt if I'll be making the trip. If the second vanda, V David Gardner Za Inat, turns out to be worth the trip, I might bring Patty along for the ride

Here are today's of the two:

Susanne, Looks like you decided not to go?...I've been watching your story. Your orchids are tremendous, esp. Patty with the two spikes.

No, she decided to go and the trip was scheduled on 28 of April.

Well, no award for either of them, even with their two spikes each
It was still an experience that I wouldn't have wanted to pass up and I'm glad I went
I also had the pleasure of meeting one of my OB friends...Rhonda_in_FL She's a sweetie

I'll be posting pictures of their Display Greenhouse in my gallery, probably tomorrow 'cause I am exhausted!

[Helen]

Susanne, Good for you! It was certainly worth a try and you had a good time. Will await your pictures. Rest up.
You are lucky to have such beautiful blooms to enjoy...

[Charles]

Welcome back and I'm glad for the safe trip.
There will be other shows. Look on the bright side, your instincts were on target concerning the show. This means you are more talented than you might think.

Hi all--

Sue is great and her plants were really wonderful. It's always fun to judge vandas, but hers didn't come to my team. We had all kinds of stuff.

Suffice to say, her plants were wonderful. They were just very heavily awarded crosses and it's hard to surpass all those awards. I would have HAPPILY added them to my collection if she didn't want them to take up too much room in the car.

Did you get to do any shopping? Green Barn? Miramar?

[cb977]

Thanks everybody
I went with the realistic idea that although I think they are gorgeous, they might not live up to the standards needed for an AOS award Still glad I did it...you never know unless you try

Rhonda, we were so exhausted from the long trip and the excitement of the day that when we left we went straight to the hotel! Did a bunch of shopping but not for orchids
