Talking Orchid buying trip

A couple weeks ago Rob at Little Frog Farms posted that he was trying to reduce his stock by selling lots of stuff for cheap. I decided to go visiting and today was the day. Dottie (my wife) and George (my son and caretaker of the 'chids when we travel) and I drove down to Lansing area and, well, Rob has a real dilemma. He has a huge collection of great-looking stuff that needs to go. Rob is a very intelligent grower with stuff to drool over. George sprung for 6 plants (Paphs and a Phal Sogo Grape and a neat mini cat) and I got my typical stuff (a Paph, a Phrag, a Neo in bloom, a mounted mini cat, a Phal Sogo Grape and a fantastic Tolumnia.) I really recommend all Michiganders, that are able to travel, visit Rob and be sure to come home with a car load. You won't be disappointed. He'll probably give you some stuff, especially Phals. I'll be posting pics, maybe tomorrow. George and I have some repotting to do later tomorrow so after that's done we'll get some pics.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

Paul asked me to go with him last Friday out to Rob's place but had some other things to do... then Paul and I went to a local sale on Saturday. He told me what I had missed and now, Ross, you confirm what I already knew... I guess if you snooze you loose! Paul and I might just make another weekend trip out there! Not that I'd be able to get much 'cause I ain't got the room with all the catts getting larger and the stuff I got from The Dowery and Carmela's and Orchidsamore .... what's a guy to do!!!!!
