World Slipper Orchid Conference January 2024

[FrankRC]

I wanted to share the announcement for this event with everyone. This is going to be a special conference. Great speakers and great sales tables.

I want to get a sense on who was planning on going. I do hope to see many of you there.

How difficult is it to bring plants for sale to Hawaii?! I recall the state having strict regulations.

Would there be a lot of vendors selling flasks at this event? I am thinking about going.

Maybe some of the items at the Conference can be made available for sale at the Paph Forum (Feb 8, 2025)?

Hi Pete!

As I understand, one of the local nurseries is going to help with arranging HI specific permits to bring plants onto and off the Island. What is required is a Hawaiian version of a Phyto, to ensure you're not bringing anything onto the Island that could cause a problem locally.

Substantial amounts of plants are always coming off the Island, it is a matter of process as opposed to licenses and the like.

Hope to see you there,

Frank

Probably not, some of the vendors in Hilo are not going to Washington D.C.
