Has anyone ever recorded these speakers or anything from the paph symposium? I cant go, but I would give my eye teeth to see a video or listen to some audio of those speakers.

RE: recording... Support your local orchid society, and ask the speaker person to invite them to speak there.

Ouch Ernie!
I've been too busy to check with Seattle and Eugene,
but I'm thinking the September dates for you coming to
Portland for a talk are going to work out...at least for my
society.

I agree with Earnie, you need to stay a couple miles away. I went to the forum probably 4-5 years ago. I had a great time, but not knowing the area, I stayed right next to the arboretum. Big mistake. At the time, not the best part of town. Wish I could go this year. Doug
Last night, well early this AM , I got my phrag order from Marilyn LeDoux. [I never realized they were in Missouri before!] Tomorrow I'm off to DC to meet Jim-AHAB and go to the forum. I pre-ordered from Parkside, Woodstream, Bloomfield, Orchidview, and Alfredo Manrique. Plus, I'm sure the Orchid Zone will have something I want! :rollhappy:
Plus, John D. is dropping off something for me!
This is going to be crazy! :crazy:

OK people; after the trip down started off on the wrong foot, the bus driver got lost twice!?!, I got back uneventfully from DC early this AM. I met MoreWater, and Steve, saw AHAB, John D, Ty, and a few other members, plus some lurkers, met Terry and Samantha from OZ, Harold Koopowitz and bought a few plants and will post some more stories and photos later after I finish unpacking. BTW, H.P. Norton got the first award on a Phrag Belle Watling!!! Yay besseae hybrids!
Some Phrags:
Some Paphs:
Nancy, the organizer, crazed STF member drooling and Samantha from The Orchid Zone, foolishly stepping in front of him!

My wife and I are going on Friday, March 27th, if you two want to carpool.
We are close to the train station. Saturday I have class till 12:30, and
Sunday I feel the vendors will be picked through. We can fit two in our car.

Hmmm, thread jacking in progress! LOL!
Which train station? that would be better than renting a car and I'm not going to buy too much stuff!

I'll send you a private message with my cell number within the next
couple of minutes. My wife said meeting at Woodbridge might be better.
We can get on the Turnpike at exit 10. Woodbridge is less than 15
minutes from our home.

Thanx.
Now, I'm not often given to hero worship; I respect the people who rush into fires, or who serve in the face of danger. But, if you've ever gone to an orchid affair with me you know that while I try to spend my money carefully, I am a civil servant after all, I usually spend quite a few dollars. Now I have quirky ideas about heroes, my previous hero was Alcides Moreno-look him up, but now I have a new one. It's not often I see someone spend 3 times as much as I do on orchids but this person did!!! Yes they are a STF member!!! :rollhappy:
STF member and countryman Dr. Manrique. Hmmm, future Peruvian connection...
Paph villosum, unknown complex, Kevin Porter, Fanaticum, Fanaticum; more later.
I didnt get a good photo of the awarded Phrag. Belle Watling. :sob:
Although, I was dissapointed that OZ only brought a fart's worth of phrags it was interesting to hear Terry's input on complex paph breeding trend; mix [California Lavarock-inert, bark, perlite, and charcoal] for an open breathable mix; fertilizer [50 parts nitro] vs my 150+!; and the importance of observing the roots and taking care of any problem immediately. They also water the plants then follow with fertiliser solutions. I was also notified that Dean 'Paphiness' Hung goes there almost monthly and we can get stuff thru him!

When I go to photobucket I keep getting a runtime error and can't debug it so I must wait until I go into the office to post more.
