Florida West Coast Orchid Society Show

[Nokomis.FL]

I was there about 1100 Saturday. Would have been there earlier, but the Looky-Loos had I-75 backed up to see a wrecked motorcycle.

I bought 3 from Krull-Smith. Their Catasetums were HUGE. There were 5 or 6 varieties early on. 2 other vendors has a few Catasetums or Cycnoches, but they were small and expensive. I also bought 1 Dendrochilum from Featherstone Orchids and some supplies from Lois Hicks.

The big reason I like this show is the timing. So many of the other local shows are now in the Winter/early Spring so the snowbirds and tourists are available and not as much is blooming or out of dormancy. If my schedule allows I may peruse the Tampa show at USF on Halloween unless I hit the Brevard County show near my parents'.

Haven't even downloaded the pictures I took, yet.
