    At the Santa Barbara show a couple of years ago, can't wait to see day two.
    Looks like great new additions to your collection.

    1/4 of that picture is Bulbos. It could easily have been 10x that, but I was only there for 2 hours.

    Are they all mini bulbos? If so, can I have them?

    They're the plants to the right of the Gongora, and left of the Phals; with the exception of that lil' Pteroceras on the front edge.

    No, you can't have them. Not until they're divisible, anyway...

    Nothing wrong with gluttony as long as you don't overdo it. Looks like you had fun, Alexis.

    Very well done. You are going back tomorrow aren't you? I'm envious, hope I can do it next year.

    Yeah, I'm going back tomorrow. Mostly to work, though. But for my "volunteer" time (and DH's) I get 80 bucks in coupons to be used at any vendor booth!

    Marni, I think coming next year is a smashing idea!

    A few, Dale, although I don't recall any particular species. Except calodictyon, which I bought. Again.

    I was there 2 years ago and had a wonderful time. But it was very expensive (because I don't get the whole moderation thing when it comes to buying orchids).

    Did Sergio of EcoOrquideas get his plants through?

    Talk to Francisco or Ana Patricia Villegas of Orquifollaje from Colombia about lepanthes. I don't know if they brought any, but they do sometimes bring them to shows. I highly recommend them.

    Good shopping, Alexis?

    What's that cute yellow car I see thru the window?

    Marni, I'm sorry I missed you two years ago. Of course, I didn't "know" you then. Next time, kay? (Oh, and I don't get the whole "moderation" bit, either. If the cash is in my pocket, it's going to be replaced by orchids.)

    MJ, it's my lil' corvette. DH says it's his, but I'm the one who drives it every day. LOL!

    AngMan, yes; I saw a few, touched a few. But I was on a mission today. Stay tuned for tomorrow's and Sunday's haul. I may have to buy a few white orchids.
