    Hello all I went to POE 70 today, my first Orchid Show btw!! and had a blast, all the displays were amazing and I had a great time checking out and sniffing all the flowers. Anyways here's the haul!

    [​IMG]

    Top Row : Pots and media from Flori Culture

    Middle Row : Elaphoglossum peltatum from Golden Gate Orchids , Anthurium crystallinum from Ecuagenera , Maxillaria variabilis 'Gold Country' from Gold Country Orchids , and Cattleya walkeriana 'Dayane Wenzel' HCC/AOS x C. walkeriana 'SVO Whopper' AM/AOS from Sunset Valley Orchids .

    Bottom Row : Coelogyne incrassata from Flori Culture , Marni Pot from Marni Turkel (Do you sell these on your ebay?? I want ), Zygopetalum triste from New Earth Orchids , and Trisetella didyma from Ecuagenera .

    I was supposed to have another orchid, a Masdevallia exquisita however they didn't ship that one which is a real bummer because that was the orchid I was looking forward to the most, oh well I just have a refund instead.:mad::mad:

    Nice selection! It looks as if you covered almost all of the booths. I don't have the equipment to make pots any more, but I do still have stock. I keep meaning to list on ebay, but can't seem to find the time. I'll keep trying to get myself to do that.

    Gosh…I miss that show. Haven’t been since COVID. Used to bring an extra suitcase with me all the way from New Hampshire. But the most fun was just talking to people

    Nice! I picked up an elaphoglossum last year from ecuagenera when they came to the Atlanta show. Cool plant, got it as an afterthought but it's a great versatile terrarium and kusamono subject for the fern aficionado.

    I miss all of the vendors we had at Fort Mason. Sadly, I think those days are gone for good. It just got to expensive there.

    It’s beyond me how that wild ever return. The PR firm and subsequent corporate sponsors needed for the break even is astounding.

    Even Santa Barbara’s show… there’s like <20 orchid vendors?
