I would like to go but I have to work all weekend. I wish it started earlier and ended later! They don't have a preview Friday night, do they?

Unfortunately no, the setup is scheduled for early on Saturday morning.

Phantom - or anyone else - did you go today?
I'm curious how it was/if it is worth going. I think I may be able to sneak out of work at lunchtime tomorrow for an hour or so; I realized today I am only about 5 min. from the park.

Hi Paphgirl,

Yes, I was there yesterday and it is worth going to. I talked with someone there who read this thread and was looking forward to seeing you there.

If you are only five minutes away, I hope you get the opportunity to go.

It is a small show, but they have some unusual & interesting orchids. A good thing about a low turnout yesterday means that they have a lot of good plants still available.

Okay, I will chat w/ my student staff this morning and see if they are cool w/ me skipping out for an hour.

Brian, you still game?

Phantom ! Looking foward to seeing you and others today.

I wondered if that was you, Mike. I only know like three people in RI, lol!
Hope to see you later today.
