Sights at the Redland Festival
 

I confess that I spent more time looking and ducking into tents than I did
taking photos, but here are a few. I'll make it one thread.

A long view - tents as far as one could see.

The Fruit and Spice Park has lots of plants besides orchids. This cactus is
about to bloom (look to the right side of the plant).

C. Hybrida, a primary hybrid between guttata and loddigesii. I will own one
of these, for certain.

I can enjoy these vicariously. They don't do well here in S. Florida. I
didn't see all that many of them this year.

That's good, right? no bugs. I remember one year there the bugs were
everywhere - in my eyes, my teeth, my hair. A native floridian said it
was because there was no wind. Next year I loaded up on Off - but there
were no bugs to repel with mild temps and a nice breeze!

Funny about the bugs. We have heard that too, and always go armed for it.
But we have never had a problem. I suspect that the gnats people talk about
are there because of all the fruit trees.

Di, What day did you go? The place looks empty! I can't believe a
Miltoniopsis for 12 bucks! You can't touch 'em for under $20 here. K

Ya, it would have been hard for me too to duck & click!
Thanks ever so for showing us the sights.

We went Friday morning. We were there by opening time and still weren't the
first in. You're right about the crowd. We always go at the same time (gotta
get the good stuff!), and this year was nowhere near as crowded. Having said
that, I read an article from one of the Miami papers, and the writer stated
that she had to park over 1100 feet away on Saturday, so it did get crowded.

There are always bargains. You can spend too much for things if you don't
shop around, but there are terrific deals and loads of things you don't see
anywhere else. The only other festival that I think is as good (if not as
big, but big enough) is the one Martin Motes runs late in January in Miami.
I'll put a bus together for that one, and we'll go on Friday, the first day.
