Orchids Make the World Go Around

I am looking forward to the 26th New York International Orchid Show organized by the Greater New York Orchid Society of which I am a member. This event takes place April 20-23, 2006 at Rockefeller Center. Each year, I spend hundreds of dollars here on new orchids for my collection. It's so nice to be among kindred spirits who suffer from the same sick obsession with orchids as I do. I always take a week off from work and spend my vacation there (how sick is that?).

I also look forward to seeing my friends at Andy's Orchids, Kawamoto Orchids, Carmela Orchids, Piping Rock Orchids, Orquidias de Valle, Ecuagenera, Orchidphile, and Orchid Art.

The above picture is a print of a water color painting of Phalaenopsis schilleriana painted by my friend Angela Mirro. You can buy T-shirts with this print along with her other exquisite works of art at the show.

You can find me working for Andy of Andy's Orchids at the show. Drop by and say hi!
