For all the Australians (and potential tourists), here is the link to the upcoming national conference in July 2006. Looks like there will be a good range of speakers attending........

I am trying to make it myself but am not sure now.

Oh, I hope you can go and enjoy it for the rest of us.

I'm definitely there!!!

I'm going on the Thursday only - Paphs and mini Cats are for me so I'll be attending those seminars/lectures. Driving down'll be a pain but I figured that taking plants back this way would be less stressful than plane, bus or train.

I've booked a room at a reasonably local B & B and have registered as well - For those that are still "thinking" about it I'd suggest getting in quick as reasonably priced accomodation is becoming scarce.

I'm wondering what flasks the Brazilian Nurseryman will be bringing along. I know that Doug Matters will be bringing a fair load of his Phrags - he wouldn't tell me names when I spoke with him - just hinted there were a lot of 4n's. I'm only 2 hours drive away from Doug so I'm a bit "torn" on wether I'll buy any of his plants while I'm down there :) . I can think of worse binds.

Cheers

Who is doug matters and where can I contact him?

Thanks

Darren

Hey gang - I've sent a PM to Darren and, yeah Phragfan :) Let's see how the balance holds out. I sent an email to In Charm this arvo to see if they had a list of what they're going to bring :) - I'm hoping they have tigrinum in flask because I can only find one plant here and the owner is holding out for a flower so he can self it. Patience is a virtue --- right? :)

Cheers

I may be flying there from the south, so I really hope there are people there to issue phyto and CITES to bring back the "precious"

Btw, is Nicky Zurcher's stock good?

Who has Roberto Agne's e-mail addy - I couldn't figure out the Portuguese webby....

There would be few paph growers better than Nicky Zurcher. He is a real marvel with immense knowledge.......this is a man who can truly grow paphs.

Make sure you buy some if you can.

Darren

He has list of Flasks - coming and pre order .
