Will somebody from the slipper orchid forum will come to this great meeting?

Best greetings

Would love too, but can't. The Paph forum in D.C. is saturday. Are there any other major orchid shows with lectures coming up in Europe in the next two months?

I have already made my pilgramage to St. Antonio's tomb. It is a beautiful town. Wish I could make it. The Orto Botanico is the oldest botanical garden in Europe. It was established in the mid 1500's
