    Be sure to get some of that keiki paste so you can clone your hybrid phals.

    Kick Nasser in the shin for me, please. :mad:

    And if you can, try to get Erich's info?

    And if you see or touch any Angs, please record your feelings at that moment and relay them to me later in the form of haiku. TIA

    So MJ, are you putting us all up at your house with free beer? What if we don't like beer?

    Well, I was there. Stayed for 45 minutes, left. Bought 5 plants. Not one Bulbophyllum in the place.
    And not one of the plants I was looking for, either.
    I was a bit disappointed.

    I looked at every plant at every booth. twice or three times.
    Andy's wasn't there, Nasser wasn't there..keiki grow was there, woo hoo. In all fairness, the keiki grow guy was really nice.
    And I was not at ALL impressed with Canaima's selection.
    There were some nice displays. Saw a Wonderfully Bloomed Ionopsis.

    I have never seen so many damned hybrids phals in my entire life. At first, I thought I had wandered into a Home Depot.

    Dammit.

    Well come to the HOS show next month, MJ.
    BTW, are you going to tell us what the 5 plants are that you did buy, please?

    I will, Jean.
    I bought....from Michel Orchid Nursery (really nice guy and kinda cute too) another Sedirea japonica w/ 2 spikes.
    The rest I bought from Marble Branch (I could talk to those guys two all day, SO nice)
    Den. Aussie Chip (aberrans x atroviolaceum 'Pygmy') in bloom
    Den Mini Snowflake (aberrans c johnsoniae) in bloom
    Den Pixie Charm (Yellow Chinsai x unicum) in buds, everywhere. the only mounted plant I bought.
    Rhynocolaelia glauca ('H&R' x 'Wolfman')

    My heart just wasn't into this one, I guess.

    lol, yeah I know. But, in my defense, the hybrid Dends are really cute. And small.

    Forrest, did I know you were sending that to me?

    Dawn, I agree. It was not a good sale. Not many people, I didn't have to elbow anybody out of the way. It was a sad day in MaryJaneville.
