Royale Orchids Open Weekend

[frex]

who's going ? - i love my visits with "uncle kevin"

[Australis]

What a pity I can't attend! Please report back about it, frex.

[frex]

I will try and post from the nursery tomorrow

Would you be after anything in particular Australis ? I am quite happy to purchase and mail anything of interest down to you (or indeed to any other NHO forum member reading who i can legally send plants to)

[Australis]

That's very generous of you, frex. Thanks for the offer.

I will have a think about it and get back to you today.

That's the weekend I have booked to go down to raid his collection for some breeding plants for me. Now gives me an extra incentive and a chance to met old friends again.

I wonder if Kevin would pay the return taxi fare? I am a buyer, and my pocket is bulging!

[royaleorchid]

Fat chance Nigel. I'm in the so called country and the taxi fare from Gosford to here costs a bomb. Try a push bike,
I've got the nursery open all that weekend.
Now just remember it is the FRIDAY 24TH MARCH till SUNDAY 26TH MARCH.
We have been getting out heaps of advanced plants, especially Cattleyas and larger specimen plants that I no longer need.
Got plenty of everything and really I should call it a SCREWING WEEKEND. That means that I can be screwed, price wise, on any and everything!

And by the way boys, QUILLABAMBA is doing the job for me. He had a brief hiccup when he threw a race away when he galloped over the line but he has excellent form with 2 last start wins. This Tuesday he is in another standing start race over the 2300 journey BUT there are bloody 19 horses in the race. He is on a 10 meter handicap but 19 horses, really, there has got to be some sort of traffic jam!

Picked up an AM last night with a cattleya X Delosa that I got from (in flask) Cal Orchids a few years ago. Nice flower.

.... just about to get in the car and come up, see you shortly K !

[Nigel]

KEVIN.....FREX is cashed up! I hear he has a People Mover hired for the day. And, he asked for all the back seats be removed!
Can you get someone to take some photos of the scene? NO. Not the till clicking over. K Ching K Ching K Ching
Some of the orchids and buyers present.

Kevin, I think Nigel is referring to a taxi from Brisbane and back!!

I don't think he would carry many orchids out by push bike, maybe he could persuade you to deliver them to Brisbane.
