Lots of Spring Orchid Shows still coming up. I hope to get to the Chicago show in April. Hope you have one in your area.

How can I find one in my area? I used to show locally, state and nationally for african violets. That was B.C.(before children) Now my young ones have left the nest, and I'm expanding my horizons! I'm new to orchids and would love to find a local show in the capital district of NY state USA. (Albany area)

For those in NorCalif. The SF Orchid show is 2/28/08 - 32/08. Always a great show to attend. Thousands of orchids on display and thousands more to buy.

Patticake,
The only shows that I am aware of in NY outside of the city are in Rochester
(Where I live) on April 4-6 and one in Vestal (just outside of Binghampton) on
April 25. If there is a chance you can come to the show in Rochester, it is
fabulous. Awesome diplays and some great vendors selling all kinds. I'm not
sure of any in your area, but if you contact Glenn Decker at Piping Rock Orchids in Galway (right near you), he can probably let you know. Piping Rock
is also a great place to visit the greenhouses. Tons of orchids.

I know that Parkside orchids will be having their annual orchidfest July 26th & 27th. I went last year and it was great. It also made me sad cause I only had $30 when I went. So many choices, so little money. Great thing is that alot of them are sold at discounted rate because the visiting nurseries dont want to have to bring anything back with them.

OOOO! Thanks! I'll have to check it out! I was in Rochester a few weeks ago for my daughter to audition for a Disney World work- study program.( She got accepted!)
Rochester is about 4 hrs. My new husband loves road trips! I'll bet we could make it! Thank you so much!
We'll check out Piping Rock Orchids too!
