This year, ogecko and I decided to visit the weekend before when they'll be both nice and stocked up and not quite so packed out with people. It makes for a more mellow shopping experience. Below are a few photos of things you might find in Parkside's greenhouses if you go next week.
There were a few cute little Podangis dactyloceras among several very attractive looking Phal. parishii which were very very tempting, but I resisted.
Several nice looking Promeneas, including this Promenea (Limelight x stapelioides), which produce very large flowers for the plant size.
This is Paph. superbiens var. curtisii, and this one I bought because it was the least reflexed one I've ever seen. It looks fully open and stretched, so I'm gambling that it won't reflex later. There were other plants of this there too.
A nice little population of Paph. Becky Fouke.
A few nice plants of Paph. Armeni White. Flowers were of good size.

Awesome! There are no orchid nurseries nearby, so I envy you! I've expanded my collection by buying wholesale from Hawaii, great plants, cheap, but you have to buy in quantity and they don't have the coolest of the cool, usually! Just semi cool, which is still pretty darn cool, if you know what I mean! Then there was the aged collector a few hours south, having to sell off his collection of multifloral paphs....I bit bigtime, about 25 plants worth. They are awesome. Check out my blog to see Paph. Yellow Tiger!
