Hi Heather I didn't know Amherst was having a show . I know they didn't enter as many shows as they have in the past . They have some really great growers and used to put on a great display Ray

Yes, I went last year also, and it was a nice show, not many slipper vendors, but the show was good. Here's the date/info for this year.

Amherst Society Orchid Show April 23 and 24, Smith Vo-Ag High School, Northampton, MA

So, are you going?

So, are you going?

Who me? Yah, we already talked about that didn't we?

I don't know, did we? :cheeky: Anyway, have fun at the show!

LOL! Yes, yesterday (!! What happened to that large jar of gingkoe I sent you? hehe!) - you asked me what I was going to buy, remember? No more plants for me though - the ban is on! :cry:
Thanks, it is a month away though....

Ok, so who's going to this? Fred/Ray? Rob w/ the roths from the Hartford show? Anyone? Are you guys exhibiting anything wonderful I should be looking for? Inquiring minds want to know! :lol:

Well, I am and will be in a red cashmere hoodie and army green capris, so if you see me wandering around drooling at plants, do stop and say hello. I would enjoy meeting some of our talented forumites.

Hi Heather,
Unfortunately I can't attend as my gardening season is in full and I have way too much to do in the greenhouses. I was hoping to send along some plants for judging but I did not have much in bloom that was really special. I have lots of parvis in bloom but none of great size or color. I have some great Gloria Naugles, Lady Isabels, Temptations, Susan Booth's, St. Swithins in high bud so not in time for this show. Enjoy the show and give us a review.
Rob

Oh, darn Rob, I understand though, it is a rather small show and I too have questioned my interest in going, but I have family in the area who have had recent surgery to boot, so I guess, we might as well go. I was looking forward to seeing more of your plants though, and also you, perhaps!

Still, it IS a show, and that in itself is a good thing! :D

Hi Heather, My Socirty isn't doing that show this year.We did it last tear but it's getting so the same people end up doing all the work. Guess it's the same at all societies. We are having our annual auction next weekend and that's kept a few of us real busy . I think we will have 160 plants to auction off.Seems like if there are any real exceptional plants you don't end up saving anyway .Well Enjoy the show. Ray

Wish I could have made the show...maybe next year.
