We just got back from Chicagoland Festival. I told John we would stop
in Madison (visit Mom's 90 year old friends) and visit Chuck Ackers
then pick up our order from Andy and a any tiny think that was Cute
from Natt's... One small box was all we needed.
He packed 2 peach lugs that opened to 4 strong boxes when each is
lined with a plastic bag they protect and carry lots - It was cool
40's at night.
We visited Chuck - ...(6 phrags.) and were off to Oak Hill -
Andy was at Oak Hill (4 Bulbos and a Phal) with Cal Orchids in the
extension..(an Angraecum & an Aeridies) Andrea Niessen (Orquideas Del
Valle) was in the back gh - only a Lockhartia. Water Orchids was
scheduled but their shipment got held up -- who knows where. We never
got to see their stuff. They are scheduled into Denver Oct 14th.
We will not mention the Phals ( I have a new set of 3 shelves under
lights) from Greg and Leisle.
Off to Windsong - Hoosier was there with Ecquegenera - (Just a Phal
from Windsong)
On to Natt's (a couple 3 Vandaecous - and a white Paph).
Finally Hausermann's & Fox Valley - a cute little Vasco and Phal -
More than 1/2 the house was Phals - I have never seen so many plants
that were not standard Catts in the gh. They were also moving walls
and rearranging the layout. The collection of flasks was out where
the big catts used to start. They had a nursery (garden plants) in
the old flask house.
A change she is in the air.

Rob stuck again.
