Perhaps some of these aren't too far where you will visit - OrchidWire - Orchid Vendors in Minnesota
Have a fun and safe trip
Looking forward to photos of your 'souveniors'

The trip is fun!! I posted the picture in my gallery, so cool, Jerry is very helpful.

Oh btw, I did smell some of the Bulbos up there, they are nasty, but very fun and cool to have! you should see my family's faces when they smell them, we all laughed about it. They're quite big though, I have smelled the phalaenopsis one (DOES smell like rotten meat!) and a moldy smell of a echinolabium cross lol...I found it to be more attractive than the vanilla smell of Neo...
I brought home with me the Max. tenuifolia, Angreacum didieri (after Jerry convinced me that they can tolerate lower humidity), and my VERY second Paph: Orchid Web: Paph. (Red Czar x charlesworthii) didn't think about buying a Paph, but hey, he said it's easy to grow. Very nice and big flower with deep wine color, better than the picture he took.
I'm so happy, my cousin bought 2 nobile dendrobium (1 is the Yellow Bird 'Canary') She is extremely happy, too!
I also bought a bag of Sphagnum moss, they are of better quality than the one I found at Home Depot (the fiber is much longer). Anyway, I wish I had a bigger place.

Great photos! That Bulbo IS huge!!! I don't know if I'd ever come home. They'd have to call the police to escort me out!

I repost some of the picture so you can see it better. I also post the 3 orchids that I bought from OL under "windowsill orchid" album, they're really nice.
