When to go

[exasperatus2002]

If your planning to go to a show thats 2 days long. When do you go?

1. On the 1st day they'll have the best selection but....
2. On the 2nd day the vendors may be willing to sell lower since they dont want to have to pack everything back up to drag home with them.

Early, early, early. I'd go to be there when they open on the first day and I'd go to the vendors first. After I had shopped, I'd go to the show. The choicest plants will not last until the end of the show and if a vendor does offer deals at the end they will be for the leftovers.

if possible...EARLY on the first day...to get the best that you wanted. And also on the last hours of the last day... bargain hunting

LOL So pitik101, your answer is BOTH!!! I'm the shopping amateur. You're the pro!

I'm going to my first show soon- I can't wait. I'm going early- Can't do both because we're going lighthouse hunting afterwards. My husband is getting orchided out! Enjoy your show!

what can I say, I'm surely addicted with orchids.

One thing that eludes me, is a good priced (dirt cheap!) E. sanderiana and its alba form. I cant find a local source for it. But can't import...will have to resort to something

[kmarch]

E. sanderiana? What's the genus?

[pitik101]

am sorry...i mean euanthe or vanda sanderiana. I really find it hard to get a good priced plant in the philippines.... the usual price is about $25 to $30 for a blooming size plant is already way out of my range....that is if you consider that im spoiled with $1 to $2 plants

try going to manilqa seedling in quezon avenue if you're in the philippines. they have a lot of vanda sanderiana there...once i got a glimpse of a vanda sanderiana alba and it was really a vanda to behold...but it was "sold" huhuhu
