Diana,

Totally - I would expect to hear similiar comments if the Bay Area ever
hosted a WOC, and yet I would go, too! *smile*

The other reason I personally would not be interested in going is that I
would want to tour growers and botanical gardens during the visit, and the
growers are probably all too busy to conduct tours of their nursery,
especially the smaller guys.

Eric,

If we didn't live so close I doubt that we'd be going, truth be told. This
is not an inexpensive proposition, in the grand scheme of things.
