AOS meeting
I just got back from the AOS meeting in Hilo. Yes, I know the meeting was
last weekend...we really like Hawaii. I got a chance to visits some nurseries and was impressed. In particular Atkasuka's up on the volcano. The facility is definitely high-end. The busloads of Japanese tourists stream in. If you catch them between busloads or on Sunday you will be greeted by a personable and knowledgeable staff. Cindy was particularly kind. Carmella's was also a very friendly and BIG operation. Row after row of blooming Phals. I took some photos and will post them on the a.b.p.o. group. You will notice that I'm not mentioning the meetings of the AOS. That's 'cause I didn't go to any. There was a plant show/sale run by the Hilo Orchid Society that was very nice. I got a chance to meet the main "Brother" of Brothers Orchid fame. A very nice gentleman. It was great to meet people I had heard so much about. Not bragging, just the facts. Dave |

AOS meeting
Dave,
I was in Hilo a little over a year ago. Everyone there is very friendly and helpful. It must have something to do with living in one of the greatest places on earth! It rained most of the time when I was on that side of the island but it was still beautiful. Funny you should mention Atkasuka. The busloads of tourists come through there and I was not impressed. I thought it looked like a tourist stop. When I was there they lacked much variety. I did order a big box of antheriums for a friend. Glad you had a great trip. I would like to go back and visit (and buy more plants). Gene "Dave Lockwood" wrote in message news:Eluha.287308$S_4.233532@rwcrnsc53... I just got back from the AOS meeting in Hilo.
