    Default Margarita and Connie go to the greenhouse

    I was very excited to meet a fellow member of OrchidTalk today. She is up from the Ft. Lauderdale area and we met up and went to one of my favorite greenhouses. Hopefully when she gets a chance she'll add her pictures to mine of her haul. I have always wanted a chance to meet someone from our website...today was so much fun! For once I had someone to talk with that is just as orchid crazy as I am. And my greenhouse friend met a fellow flasker, and sent Margarita home with some supplies and advice on flasking.

    First; a picture of the first greenhouse. The second one pretty much looks the same as this one....

    Jesse had been spraying plants, so this yellow got messed up. It has another sheath coming along just fine so soon I'll update this picture.

    it sure looked like fun!
    when i saw the first pix of the greenhouse, i thought it was something like the "before and after" thing, and im surprised you guys left some plants behind, especially margarita with her wishlist, lol.

    @connie,
    this purple catt looks very similiar to mine i posted the other day, what you think?
