Yet more: my business name is The Tiny Jungle. I'm in a corner booth opposite Andy's big space.

I'll have to miss it this year. Bummer:<

Chris, you got a good spot right next to James.
I'll be set up back-to-back with Hengduan.

Me too on the miss (as usual.) Sorry - just realized I forgot to msg. you back Marcus! Have fun all!

So far, I'm thinking of going. Probably on Sunday as the show is winding down and the vendors are discounting their goods. :rollhappy:

The biggest issue for me is finding parking that's reasonable close by. That and the fact that I have a phobia about crowds. It's gotten worse as I've gotten older.

Very interesting, nicv. I have that same reaction to crowds...eerie! What
happened to that enormous parking lot that used to be there?

 

[jeremyinsf]

There is a (pay) parking lot there, however, it fills to capacity at times. I found street parking today, but I got there early.

I agree on the crowds. It can get crazy with all that "get" energy.

 

[NYEric]

Sounds just like home.

Eric, you'd be quite comfortable at POE. Perhaps I could finance a trip
there for you next year in exchange for buying some plants for me. The
biggest problem for me was trying to find cabs and finding a really nice
hotel within walking distance. I thought SF would be like NY with cabs
everywhere and you just walk out into the street, get a cab or get run
over. :>)

Fort Mason isn't the Convention Center. It's just a good place for these kind of one-offs.

I had no problem with the venue, but walking across that parking lot after
walking around the show all day just about did me in. I was hauling a lot
of plants as well. Just barely made it to the Starbucks before collapsing!
I like Fort Mason...got to see some seals playing in the water too. Ocean
views are kinda rare in KY.

Here are some pics from the display:











I love the kovachii and Tiny Jungle's display (well done! Chris!)

I got there on Sat, there was one ooii left- for $200 from Ooi Leng Sun Orchids!

I ended up with mini Catts from SVO and a volonteanum from Ooi Leng Sun Orchids. kovachii was all gone when I got there.

No problem. BTW, We call the NYC lifestyle survival of the Fittest!
Thanks for the addt'l photos Leo.

ROTFL@Eric! And so it is. The photos are appreciated. I wish I liked
complex Paphs., but I don't. I went to the opening shindig when I was
there and plants were selling so fast I got dizzy and elbowed. Crazy people
with wine glasses are dangerous!

Is the last photo of The Tiny Jungle? I hope Chris did really well financially.

Eric, Manhattan is rather tame compared to Paris. The drivers aim for you
in Paris! They get points for pedestrian knock-downs.

i'm hoping to make it there next year!

I wish it were held at Moscone Center. Would be easily accessible from BART.

I wish there were enough orchid vendors to fill Moscone Center!

 

[theorchidzone]

Moscone center is big leagues. Not us.
I remember when the show was in the Hall of Flowers in GG Park. Very charming spot! Anyway, that was quite a number of years ago.
Fort Mason is plus for crowds, but not especially charming in my view.
