Re: World Orchid Conference

Tomorrow, I will be anxiously awaiting delivery of three cattleya  
alliance orchids that I picked out from Akatsuka Orchids on the Big  
Island. They are successfully growing a variety of Orchidaeciae at  
3000+ feet there. The big question is, where am I going to find the  
space???
