Kathy, I saw more difference in the color (more yellow in the new bloom) at your house than I do in the photo.

Hi all, I went to Kathy's (Boojoom's- Just incase there are other Kaathy's) house today. What a wonderful show. I learned a lot and got a new Phal (Kathy, please send me it's name). Very exciting. Many questions answered just by looking as well, such as the variation in striation (I am sure that they is a technical word for this) of psuedobulbs, the right leaf colors and how the exposed roots can look. Thankfully, most of them were the answers I wanted!

We also went to a local grower's house. Roger was very informative and had some beautiful Catts in bloom. While there I purchased Epc. Siam Jade 'AVO' and Brassavola Little Stars. The Siam Jade has a bud! I will photograph it when it opens. Roger spent a long time talking orchids...some of it I understood, some I didn't. I am so impressed with how willing to share information and "talk plants" every orchid enthusiast has been. Kathy spent HOURS with me and Roger was also very generous with his time. I also saw Kathy's extensive outdoor gardens, which are already coming to life. It was awe inspiring.

I hope that everyone else enjoyed some quality orchid time this weekend.
