Thanks, Philip and it's not a long trip for me since I live in Sarasota and am a member at Selby. I go there often, dragging any victims who come to visit us.

Melanie, maybe they didn't mean 2000 different types of orchids? Or maybe not all at once? Lots of those orchids are teeny tiny things with hundreds of flowers per stem, so it's easy for them to justify saying they'll have 2000 orchids . . . although I do think they'll have some displayed out on the grounds as well as in the glass house providing the weather is warm enough. The Orchid Festival also goes for something like 6 weeks, so that may help them reach that magnificent total.
