I have registered to attend the Asheville Orchid Festival/AOS Spring Meeting April 14-17. This will be the first AOS sanctioned exhibit in over 30 years. I figured it was time to visit with "real" orchid growers/experts. The show coincides with my wife's 66 BD, so this will make it a special time for both of us. The Asheville area should be gorgeous by mid-April and the weather mild.
