Kathy, thanks for the link to the Redland's diary, it looks like you all had a great time, and what nice plants!
Do you know the 10th photo plant? Small purple flowers on long stems? Looks like it might be some sort of Encyclia but I didn't think they got so tall!
Do you or Jim know the name of the twisted palm? Or the trees in the next photo?
Next is the 4th photo after the Cal Orchids paragraph- large sprays of pale yellow.
That's it for now!!
