ok i was going to load the flyer but it's too big; go here:

The National Capital Orchid Society | Fall Show

[snowballsarebad]

I might go this year, not sure yet! I wish they would have it in another room other than they had it in last year; it was so dank and dark, like a basement, and it really didn't lend itself to showing the orchids. The sales tent outdoors was nice. Looks like there are maybe more vendors this year?
And it was wonderful to walk around the Arboretum a bit, especially to see all the Bonsai collection ...some of them are like, 500+ years old if I remember correctly.

I sure wish I could go- I've blown my travel budget out the door this year! Hopefully next year we can go to a few shows like this one!

the bonsais are amazing....

i only ever went once; the show plants were on the first floor of that building....? wonder why they moved to the basement... our co-pres helps set up that show; i will ask him where it's going to be.

eta: chryss says it will be in the auditorium, as usual--it may not have windows.

further eta: howard says the plants are taken to the basement for judging, but then brought back up.
