This weekend near my house is an Orchid Show. It is an AOS show for the
state at a local mall.
I was thinking maybe I should get there early the first day- to get a
selection of the best orchids, then return on the last day- maybe for
some bargains from people who still have some left.
I have been collecting for a couple of years and have 20-30 orchids. I
grow them under a 400 watt MH in my basement, and let them bloom in a
bow window in my living room. I want to buy a few nice additions this
weekend.
Any suggestions for a first timer would be greatly appreciated!



What are you growing now? What intrigues you?
Are you interested in species, or Catt hybrids, or ??
We need more guidance to give you suggestions.
Although I will say there is merit in your plan for a couple of
visits. Remember to buy 'what you can not live with out' on the
first trip. But often there will be specials during the last
hour or two. Are you a member of the OS putting the show
together? You could assist during setup and get to know some of
the vendors too.
