What do you say about this event? For years SEPOS (SE PA orchid
society) helt their annual show at the King of Prussia Mall. The last
couple of years, the mall and the society quit playing nice and as a
result the mall was no longer an option for SEPOS' show. Looking for
a new venue, SEPOS and Longwood teamed together and created this
show. Over the past two years SEPOS has uninvited many of the vendors
who had done SEPOS' shows for many, many years to make the new show
more 'international'. In my book this show is a disgrace and results
from a society out of control.
