I would not like to see a west coast aroid
show instead of the Miami aroid show, but rather in addition
to. The answer here may be to have a show not in Calif but a
neighboring border state where such strict ag rules aren't present.
California aroid growers
can still get to the show with only a bit more effort, and it makes the
show more available to aroid enthusiasts a little further east. I
can't speak to the practicality or logistics of this, but it does seem
to solve the issues brought up regarding Calif ag laws.
I'm assuming a show in the west would be smaller than the Miami show
simply because most east coast growers would not
want to take on the costs involved in shipping. That's OK, it would
give west coast growers a chance to show their stuff, which
they can't do at Miami for the very same reason, shipment costs. There
may be reasons why this doesn't work, I'm just throwing this out as a
thought. Are Calif ag laws just as strict on outgoing material, which
may hinder Calif growers getting plants to a border state?

I suspect that few commercial
growers are willing to take the risk to ship into California without
the paperwork with all legalities on the dotted line. They have far too
much to risk to take this risk. I think Denis has already stated this
in his comments about his nursery. Now there may be some commercial
growers out there who ship into California on a regular basis but
usually not on a large commercial shipment level. It is one thing to
send a box to CA and quite something else to send boxes of plants on a
commercial level. Also consider the cost of sending such material all
the way to CA from the east coast. Would people be willing to pay the
extra cost? Who would take that risk and who would put that money up on
the front end with little guarantee that there would not be a loss.
Denis has done this for years with the Miami show but I do not see him
with the added risks of a meeting elsewhere. I am playing the devil's
advocate but I do think you need to seriously contemplate the work, the
difficulties, and the financial aspects of doing any of this.
