The show and sales rooms were a lot, lot bigger than the ones in L.A. last year. The 4 inch plants were also $4 a piece. It's a shame the baskets were so large else I might have bought one especially of 'Martin's Mystery'. I did buy a very large 'Paul Hernandez' in a six inch pot for only $6. It is now in a 18 inch pot. I ended up with 26 at the sales room but also bought a few at Bill Claybaugh's house earlier in the day and two teeny tiny plants at the seminar Thursday night where they were auctioned off.

The one nice thing about this convention was the timing for more temperate weather growers. This gives us the whole summer to grow the new plants to a good size before winter whereas the convention last year in L.A. was in September and only gave us a few weeks before moving them indoors.

Here are some exhibit plants outside the show room. This is sizemorea.
