We came, we saw, and my wallet conquered!!! OMG !!! Me, Kid-a (Kortney), and Grandmapenguin (Terry) had a blast!!!
Russ Vernon, owner or New Vision Orchids and also an AOS judge held the picnic at his place. The Greenhouse was ginormous!
Yeah, I could have died there a happy camper. The one side was where all the cool growers were located and the other side the warm growers. Unbelievable. The tables were on rolling racks and filled to the hilt with orchids.
We got to meet new people and all three of us joined the society.
They even had an auction and we got a few of those plants as well.
But my best pic of them all was the Paph (YES,,,PAPH!) that I bought.
I got St. Swithin. I love it, love the look of it, and broke down and bought it.
I'll just have to get the other two later.
Here are pics from greenhouse.
I have to upload more.
