Couldn't sleep, so decided to look at orchids...I hope to sleep in a bit, run then I had thought of calling to see if you wanted to go to Rogers. I was thinking of getting an orchid to commemorate Aaron's graduation, but it sounds as though you are pretty busy.

Reading about all of the orchid shows makes me anxious to get to another one.

Would love to see the laelias sometime...

Happy Sunday!
