but there were some decent deals.. and the talks were good...

 

[southernbelle]

I can't make it. If anyone is selling besseae flasks, let me know.

Bummer, hoped you could!

 

[clearsky57]

Can anyone confirm that the sessions were recorded? I didn’t register because we’ve been without power and internet this week due to a winter storm, but now that we’re back up and running I’d love to listen to the presentations.

Skoester:
my understanding is that they did in fact record the talks but i think you have to be registered to have access to the recordings.. and not sure when they are sending out links to the regd peeps.

Oh by the way
Paph Shun Fa Golden got an FCC today
don't know owner or score....
beautiful plant though and big flower.....
worth it to me...

 

[richgarrison]

Oh I see at least three flasks I would buy if I was there! Too bad virtually shopping is not available .

Looking forward to the talks in a few minutes.

It was you just needed to text me

- wallisii (humboldtii)
- Desormes x St Ouen
- papuanum

lots of other good stuff...

Tim Culberston was there with lots of good paph seedlings (evidently we can look forward to Fred Clark expanding his paph production - maybe see some evidence in the late spring)

Bill had a bunch of the stuff from his most recent newsletter there... that was convenient ;-)

@FrankRC had a bunch of fun looking stuff...

look at it this way.... you have more budget for redlands...

I was close to texting you when I saw the flasks. Bill will be in Pittsburgh soon. I can get into trouble then. No need to wait for Redlands.

The roads seem ok when I drove this afternoon. They may get icy as it gets colder tonight.

Linus:
can you give me any details on who when the recordings will be available to registrants?
in particular, i want to delve into Ivan's lecture and hoping there are pics he used in his talk on Equagenera Phrags..
thanks

Glad I didn’t hesitate this time…learned my lesson a year ago.

I seem to be a little confused when it comes to Woodstream and their flask. I got a price list that says they only have 3 each flask available. I also see that they brought a couple of flasks of each to this event. So do they only have 3 flasks available? To me, that seems a bit ridiculous.

 

[NYEric]

I was/am under the weather, do its a good thing I didn't make the trip. Thanks for sharing. Luckily I got my Woodstream order in so I can get them at the Deep Cut OS show.

 

[FrankRC]

Don’t see any. Vendors not selling many phrags generally this year

Hello! It was great seeing so many of you yesterday.

From the perspective of someone selling, and I won’t try to speak for the other vendors notwithstanding we are on friendly terms, I made a decision not to take that many Phrags this year as I knew Ivan would open a few huge Ecuagenera boxes and have a few hundred Phrags for sale and I was right. It’s tough to compete with that. And Bill was there as well and it made no sense to water down the Phrag offerings further, as well as the prices.

I had hoped to be at Deep Cut and NCOS shows this year but will be in China/Taiwan for the WOC and can’t be at either, selling or buying.

I will try to start a thread here and post as many photos from Taiwan as I can.

Best,

I just received my links to the recording. The virtual attendees have 30 days to view them.

Those who attended in-person may need to ask, if you have not already received the link.

@Linus_Cello thank you!

clearsky57 recording is available now for all who registered, you should have gotten an email. If someone wants the recording and did not register, you can still register for virtual and get it.

The Facebook page, Virginia Orchids, managed by Garland Hanson had a video, I believe. Lots of photos, as well.

 

[NYEric]

I will look. Thank you. .
