    Andy, throughout his life, has created on the most complete Orchids garden in the world. This video showcases some of them.

    I have seen this before from Andy's website, but forgot all about it! Good to see it again! Thanks for the link.

    I spent two days there in early November. It is much bigger than you get the sense from the video. There are many growing areas.

    Be sure you bring a lot of money. It can be a very expensive experience.

    I'm sure my bank account would be howling in pain after a visit there.

    I wonder how far he is from where I'm going to visit. I'll have to check his website to see if he will be at the show...if not I'll have to go check it out. I'm a little afraid after reading everyone's postso_O...it looks like a great place to wonder.

    I made an appointment to tour Andy's Thursday. I know there will be more there than I will probably be able to see. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm packing a lunch!

    I got the meet Two gentlemen from there at the orchid show last weekend, since Andy is in Seattle at the flower show there. They had a small amount of plants there compared with what lies in store for me Thursday. I will prepare myself as much as possible. It's going to be sensory overload. I can't wait!

    Along with your lunch take your credit card. It is definitely sensory overload.

    I was impressed with the stand at the show, I can't even imagine what I'm walking into. I thought I'd start looking at ones that would do well in my conditions before going crazy. I love the miniatures that I have already. I picked up a Den. King Zip 'Red Splash' from Cal Orchids, I love it. I'll have to use some self control or I won't get threw airport security, ha ha ha...I might just need a 12 step program! Oops sorry it's sideways! image.jpg
