Arlene -
I'm dreaming of visiting my daughter at grad school in Santa Cruz this same weekend for her birthday and visiting the Expo the same week - just keeping my fingers and toes crossed that the Siskyou's will behave themselves during that time frame - significant snow accumulation could be a definate deterrant?! Looks like it would be great fun. mike

I plan on going with my husband, youngest daughter, mom and dad (and possibly a friend or two). I hope to see you two - Mike & Rena. How about revealing ourselves so we know what each looks like? If you're both ok with that, let's do it when the time gets closer.

That would be a kick! Keep this thread updated as the time approaches and we'll see just how many people from this forum might make it......

The expo is less than three weeks away. Who is going? Would anyone be interested in meeting up? If so, I'll be there on Feb. 17, 9:30am-12:30pm.

PM me if anyone wants to meet up.

Rena, sorry to hear you're not going. I can understand.

I've been saving up some of my allowance. So I can afford 1 or 2 (mini/compact) plants. And, knowing my dad, he just might buy one for me! He has done that the last couple times. Next time, I have to be strong and not accept his offer. Space with ample light is now very limited in my house!

Since its been a while since I attended this show, does anyone know if people will be selling orchid supplies, like pots, growlights, and other stuff there?

Arlene - looks like I will only be there in my dreams this year! Take a few pics and post along with a few words about what was special to you at the show - that way we can experience just a wee bit of it through you! mike

button -- I believe there will be one or two orchid suppliers at the show this weekend. However, I don't know if they will have grow lights.

Mike -- Sorry to hear you won't be attending. I'll definitely be taking some pics and will share them here.

I had an awesome time at the show yesterday! There were a lot of people, which made taking pictures difficult, so I was only able to take about 80. I wish I could take more. I also ended up bringing home 4 new plants--
Yamadara Sammie Evans "Kiilani"
Lc. Sacramento Rose
Paph. delenatii 'Hsin-Ming' SM/TPS x Paph. delenatii 'HF Amy's challenge'
AM/AOS
Eplc. Mae Bly 'Ching Hua Splash'--although this one's bloom doesn't look the
same as some of the pictures I've seen of it. Its missing some of the
purple markings on some of the other petals.

I can't wait for some of these to bloom!
