Well I bought all plants except for a cattleya from Piping Rock. Here is a photo. Donna took a few photos yesterday and hope to post later today.

what a haul!!!

Yea, I was the fourth one threw the door. Glen wasn't even at his sales area before I got there. Prices weren't as good as the last show that I went to but I think those complex where too cheap for the quality. Had a nice long talk with Glen. The most expensive one is in the back row in the middle. I thought the one in the back row on the left has the most potential. All are first time bloomers. These originated from Hilo Orchid Farm. I've bought complex in bud from them but don't get the good ones. Naturally, they would go to their best customers and I understand that. Starting this year, I only buy in bloom complex. I don't mind paying for quality. Well, I do hate to pay but such is life. Thank God Donna lets me get what I want. Well most of the time. A short time ago, I was buying some seedlings just out of flask for a few months and she got mad at me, however still have to love that little women

...Starting this year, I only buy in bloom complex. I don't mind paying for quality....

I completely agree. At some point it starts to become apparent that life may be to short to keep taking shots in the dark.

When did you get into Complexes?

 

[Bob in Albany N.Y.]

Russ, I used to buy lots of complex from Hadley but got tired of small plants for this poor grower. I seem to rotate the dead out and ad new plants. :-(
