This might only be relevant to phalpal...but if there are any other geeks in the general vicinity...there's going to be a
seminar on growing orchids outdoors here in Southern California given by Merle S. Robboy, MD held this Sunday at 2pm in Costa Mesa.
My GF and I plan on waking up super early (8am) and driving down to the
Carlsbad Flower Fields to see the orchid show for a couple hours and then drive back up to Costa Mesa to catch the seminar. Then we'll check out
the vendors and only be tempted by super deals. Hopefully.
