Yes, it's almost like being there. Almost...
Our first stop today was at Natt's
This is The owner of Natt's, Prayool Inboriboon. I hope I spelled it right! He and his family are wonderful people and I always enjoy coming here.
While at Natt's, I ran into forum member, Jim Blanford, aka, jblanford. This is the second year Jim and I have seen each other at Natt's. I hope it becomes an annual event.
While the emphasis of this thread is on people, I had to shoot a few plant shots.

Wow what an impressive haul... And dedicated trip! My wife would have shot me by now. Have a good trip! Nice fairrie by the way.
hey, reading these last few posts gave me a thought- how about those of us who are slippertalk members wear a nametag when we go to orchid events, that say something like 'slippertalk - cnycharles' or similar. I wouldn't know if a member came to our show or if I were somewhere else that others weren't slippertalk members... might be surprised who we know that we don't recognize without a nametag...
nice play-by-play on the orchid trip! I certainly wouldn't want to step in front of 42 orchid crazy people bent on purchases, even if I were a texas ranger with a colt 45!

Maybe something could be added to the fundraiser section of Cafe Press. Even some inexpensive pin would do the trick. It would be fun to run into fellow members. I could see it now, standing side by side at a table, you look over and see a familiar pin and you try to guess which member you are talking to. I would love it.

Don't you read AOS Orchids article, Vol. 78, No. 6 June 2009?
That's more like it Ross.Thanx for sharing. I was removing an old hose from a backhoe yesterday, slipped off the wrench, fell and landed on my back on some small tree stumps! OUCH!!! No tournament today for me, I should have gone to Chicagoland!

At your request ......
here's what Ross brought me-
Paph. Varvara (fairrieanum x Claire de Lune), a div. of a W.Sinkler plant. I love the bold spots & the fairrie charm!
