If you have the opportunity to make it here...GO!!!

Redland International Orchid Festival

Plan on spending a few hours...the whole park is full of orchid vendors!!!

I went in '05 and had a blast. It's a 5 hr trip for me so I don't think I'm going to make it but if I were closer, I wouldn't miss it!

Default Orchid Festival...I wanna to go!!!!

Would love to go! Hubby's not real big on orchids...yet.... He and I attended a small orchid show in town last year and 30 min. was all he could take. This year he's a little more enthusiastic, but I don't know...I'd be like a kid in a candy shop He'd probably have to drag me outta there. I've marked my calander though. It's pretty far south... Maybe I could coax him with a weekend trip to the Keys.

When I went in '05, it was on a bus trip that my club put together. We stayed at a hotel that was about a mile from the park...arrived Saturday afternoon, relaxed...and then were waiting at the gates the next morning!

I went to a small orchid show today and purchased 4 bareroot Bc. Maikai. I stuffed the grapevine ball with Epi Web chunks and mounted the 4 Maikai. Here are some updated photos.

That turned out really cool! Thanks for sharing the pics. I think I'm going to try something like that too.
