And here is my haul for the show!

Neofinetia falcata
Brassovola Little Stars
Maxillaria fredrichsthalii
Encyclia vespa
and because it is named after me:
Schomburgkia thompsoniana- any orchid with Thompson in it must be good. lol

[navyderek]

Oh, and if anyone knows or has access to databases which would tell them, should the Schomburgkia thompsoniana actually be called Myrmecophilia thompsoniana? The 'net has both....

Looks like a neat place to visit, Derek!
