Shore Orchid Festival (6/8 - 6/10)

I don't see the compots. Eric, what day and time where you there and where there many left? I assume he had also brought some flasks, did he?

Hey Bob!
Sam did bring compots and flasks. Not many people were buying them though. Some distinguished compots came to my mind was charlesworthii album and kolopakingii forma katherinae.

I was there Saturday around 4 PM and he had plenty flasks and compots left. I also picked up some Joyce Hasegawa seedlings and a few species and the media. I'm seriously worried about the lack of availability of diatomite as the suppliers are starting to keep it to themselves for use in their mix.

The mine has closed down!

Yes, I know, but I didn't realize the supply was so low. Now is the time for a USA supplier to step up!

I did find another possible source for diatomite, but it's in Australia. I didn't check it out. In your search engine type "Vitec Online Store" and it will take you there . . . .

Thanks, there still is a more local retailer but...
