Apopka event

[Djthomp28]

It was a really good time. Great speakers and great vendor selection. Plus, the amazing SlipperTalk members The best part of these events is the people.

I agree. The Orchids are nice but it is the people who make the event!

 

[Djthomp28]

I think I see Nancy Losgar, Claude Hamilton, Ryan Kowalcyk at one table. Looks like fun at the round, orange table.
Frank Smith is there of course.

Accurate on all counts. Eric and I observed judging at their table.

So many folks took wonderful pictures and video that I stopped taking photos . But I have a few.

Here are a few of Krull and Smith's new show room.




Vandas doing their thing


Cattleya Dominiana


I wish I could grow one of these because clearly i need more things to obsessively grow



The bulbo selection was very nice!

Darleen T. is also there. Orange table behind that has Alan Koch and Eric Cavin. Green t-shirt is Dave Sorokowsky.

Oh yes, yes, yes. I do see Eric and Alan! Dave and I have never met as far as I can recall.
Back a little further, nearer the door and left in a blue shirt, glasses, that looks like Ron McHatton?
