Carol, I may be going back tomorrow as well. As soon as I left yesterday, and all the way home some 26 miles of freeway, I heard some of those orchids weeping that they did not come home with me. And a few were even using some pretty foul language. Hilarious!
Let me know if and when you may go back and I'll do they same.aybe we can gang up on some poor unsuspecting vendor.
Here's what followed me home yesterday

Cal Orchids
Lc. Miss Wonderful ‘Imperialis AM/AOS In bud and one is opening today
Lycaste Abou Rits 4N x Lycaste Abou Rits 2N

Andy’s Orchids
Paphiopedilum wardii
Epigeneium acuminatum
Lycaste lasioglossa
Den. Kingianum Bare root ($5) couldn't resist. I have some other varieties and I'll see how this one likes the Kool Logs
Dendrobium loddigesii variegated
Dendrobium nobile var. cooksonianum

SVO
Fdk. Midnight Lace ‘SVO’ x Ctsm. Frilly Doris ‘SVO’ AM/AOS Not blooming size for maybe a year, but it sounds so neat. Here is what the web site says

"Here is a new style in Fredclarkeara breeding. The Midnight Lace is (Mo. Painted Desert x Ctsm. fimbriatum v. morrenianum) and blooms with dark purple-burgundy flowers and frilly lips that are almost like black lace. Frilly Doris (Doris's Choice x Dona Marie) imparts good flower form, well arranged flowers, vigorous growth, an ability to bloom 3-4 times a season, and, most importantly, the fimbriate lip. How about 15-20, large, long-lasting, dark purple-burgundy flowers with dark frilly lips, produced 2-3 times a season? "

Lc. Elegans f. coerulea (L. purpurata f. werkhauseri 'Kathleen' AM/AOS x C. leopoldii f. coerulea 'Kathleen' JC/AOS) In bud

I'll take picture when the buds open.
Showing up is 88% of life
