Carrie,
Unfortunately I've missed the Floriade, but I hear it was great! When visiting the Netherlands, the Keukenhof is of course a must see. :-) Maybe for your next trip: 'De Orchideeën hoeve' in Luttelgeest (a small place in our Noordoostpolder).

Kind regards, Jildau

Hi Sonya, thank you for the flowers!

Hello Ed, nice to meet you!

Hi Phalchid,

Thanks! I agree, there is a lot of knowledge here. And everybody is very helpful. Super!

If only I had known. I used to go to Belgium a lot for business and take weekend trips to wherever... My dutch is good enough to make a menu, and not more :)

Hi Rosie,
Thank you! I will be checking your Orchid Photos. :-) The red orchid beside your name is very special!

Welcome as a fellow newbie. I hope your orchids bloom again so you can share the photos with us!

Thank you Margy! I hope so too; I just added a picture to my profile of an orchid my mother recently bought. :-)
