I saw tons of beautiful looking Masdies and Phrag hybrids, and I still can't believe they don't value those.

When the vendors are from a different country and have brought the plants in for the show, they can't take them back out...they have to get rid of them 
You have to get the timing right...and hope that the stuff that's left is the stuff you want 
I'm so glad to see you got the Slc. Wendy's Valentine...

I was soo excited when I saw it for sale. I had to get it for her and especially since she was there.
Well, she turned out to be a cymbidium lover Sue. We got one for $5 and I have no clue how to tell her to care for it. She lives in a sunny apartment.

I think the majority of Cyms want as much light as they can get without burning. 
The girl just keeps showing she's got good taste

Aww chucks Sue.
The Cymb for now is only 7 inches tall, maybe a bit small. I have no clue if it is supposed to be a miniature or not. I'll try to post those pics tonight

If it is mini it will tolerate the warmer temperatures.

Nice of you to post the pictures. Very nice indeed. Too bad too far for me to attend.
