it's awesome. i went in june and the N. truncata still had seedpods on it!

their one and only bicalcarata was crap when i went though. but their Lowii's were to DIE for!

oh yeah and in their lowland house their N. ampullaria had UPPERS!

I have got to get up there sometime. Heck I only live 2 and a half hours from there. My orchid society is planning a trip up there I think and some of those folks know some folks that might get us into some parts of it most folks don't get to go either. I can't wait. Atleast thats what they were talking about at my last meating. I will keep folks posted if we do go or if I go. Great photos Kirk. Did they sell any of those plants? LOL

 

[Clint]

did you sneak in the private area, too?

please tell me you couldn't fine the lowland area? that truncata was HUGE! i had a hard time finding it untill i saw it from the outside of the building.
