Orchids... Silly me... I thought we were talking common house plants (I
still have my evil pregnant onion plant I brought from CA to out east 20+
years ago - anyone want any babies?). I did not see the original post so my
2 cents aren't worth ... well 2 cents. Good luck transporting your
beauties. I know I did not have a problem bringing in orchids from Hawaii
to CA. (they don't really need potting soil though so I'm confused about
this as an issue). DK

You know, Hope, I wouldn't bare root at the time you leave, wait until you
are almost to Calif and do it then. Or even wait until you see what the
inspector
has to say and do it at the station, if there is a problem. It seems to me
that
orchids, at least, would not have any disease of concern. (Just like the
inspector isn't concerned when you have bananas) Bring a bag of sterile
potting soil and repot them down the road. I don't think the inspector is
going
to rip the plants from your trembling hands!!LOL They have always been
quite
reasonable people if you are honest with them. "quick and painless" ha ha
OTOH it may be that you will be lucky and the station will not even be
open on
the day you get here.........
Let us all know how it goes. When will you be moving?

Well, I have both orchids and some common house plants. And lucky bamboo!

The thing about Fresno is that you're an easy drive to Sacramento,
to San Francisco, to Tahoe and just about anywhere in the middle to northern
California area.

A friend's family lives in Fresno. He is near the coast and hosts a
"Beat the Heat Day" a couple of times every summer. ALL of the relatives
show up.

Austin doesn't have the Tule Fog all winter either. 20' visibility and
38 degrees
