Thanks for posting this video. (Between running the cash register and taking care of the baby, I didn't get a chance to see the exhibits. So what did you buy?)

Hi Linus, I wanted to buy a Dendro kingianum, some other dendro, a neostylis lou sneary bluebird, a mini cym, catt labiata...but I didn't buy anything.

Why not? I bought a masd, phrag Peter Croezen, and a vandal vietnamica (http://www.slippertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=38951). There's always room for one more. (I guess I had the advantage of a member of selling a bunch of plants to make room for one more).
