Thanks for the info, Arlene. <sigh> More than a month to go....

[arleneg]

Jo,

Time will fly so quickly. The next thing you know it's here. Will you be going? It won't be as big as the Pacific Orchid Expo. But I always try to go to an orchid show to see what they have...er...more like what I can buy.

Hi Arlene,

I definitely want to go...I haven't been to an orchid show before, and I certainly don't want to miss such an opportunity to add to my modest collection - shh, don't tell my husband

The only thing, though - I have volunteered to help with a garden tour; I need to check the dates but I have this awful feeling that the tour is the same weekend.....

Cheers,
Jo

i can't wait for event as well... it would be my first. do you know how much they sell orchids, on average?

[orchid_girl]

Too far away Would love to go though.

drey415,

The price of an orchid depends on each grower and size/type of orchid. Having attended several orchid shows, I would say the average is in the $20-$30 range. I suggest you shop and compare prices. If you come across on the last one, buy it!

Oh, if you enter a raffle and are lucky, then the orchid is free!

Sorry I can't attend, it's the same day as the Central Ontario Orchid Society show( Of which I am a member, so I need to be there).

Does anyone know of anything down here in the south? I would love to go to a show...

new_to_orchids,

If anyone know of one, I'm sure that member will post about it.
