Thanks for the pics, guys. They are beautiful. Syrumani, I'd love to see the design pics too if you have the time to post them. I've GOTTA have that Mac's Serendipity!!

Ok, here we go. Sorry I didn't get the creators' description of each display. The theme for the show I think was Alice in Wonderland . .

Nichole, I am sorry I didn't make it but i did go to my 50th high school reunion tonight! I just knew there wouldn't be any streps. All of the people sell to each other before the show and sale even starts. At least that is what they do here. I would really have been bummed out to spend money to stay in a hotel and not even be able to buy pretty streps.

Thanks for taking so much nice pictures.

Thanks for all the pics Nicole and Lynn--very enjoyable and the next best thing to being there. I like the natural designs and terrariums. Mac's Serpendiity(?sp) is my fave AV--the color contrast is stunning! I'll be back in the AM to take a better look.

So beautiful! And gee, wouldn't you know that my fav was named JuneBug!

really beautiful pictures, always enjoy the shows.

Great Photos!!

It's almost like being there. Thanks for the pics!

Nichole,
Your pictures are just stunning.^_^ I am adding some to my want list especially Mac's Serpendity.What a beauty! Lynn

I'll add a few more.

DonM47,
If that piggie had been for sale,I would have bought it in a heartbeat! I thought it and it's little plant were adorable.

I was told some of the people exhibiting were going to come in and tag their plants for sale.I left and came back,but they weren't tagged.I don't blame them.Why sell such beautiful plants?

I was just so happy they gave me permission to take pictures.

Thank you for taking and sharing all the beautiful show plant photos, syrumani and ibrabec. A real treat to see them all.

Fun to browse here and see what's going on in the Toronto club.

Thanks,Goldleaf.That's a great site! I bookmarked it.

Thanks, girls, for great photos. I've added quite a few to my list. My favs are the ones with the varigated leaves. At least when they're not blooming, they are still pretty to look at.

Goldleaf, thanks for the site. Great photos of pretty gessies.

Thanks everyone for such nice pics! How about that Chirita 'Cynthia'? Now we know where she came from...........Canada!

So glad that you took your camera!

I want that chirita Cynthia so bad from the first time I saw it. Remember me asking you to ask Marjorie about it, Gail? It's a chimera chirita and so far I have never seen it offered anywhere.
Imadigger, I like the variegates too and always have because they are pretty with or without bloom.

I know how badly you want it but I have checked everywhere, GL, and I can't find one.

i believe chirita cynthia is only grown by someone over seas & will not part with any, thats what i have been told.thats why you can't find it.

Every reference to Chirita Cynthia
i find comes back to Bill Price

Thanks, mrsbonnie. Maybe someday...

Bill Price has grown it.

Anyway, if it ever does make it's way here, the cost would be sky high.

Did you bring any goodies back with you from the show, ibrabec?

Yes,I did.There were not very many Streps.,but I got a small Hot Ticket and Paper Moon.I also got a dozen violets,ranging from 2 tiny leaves to blooming size.Among them were Pretty Miss Kelly,Omaha Thunder,Persian Prince,Fairy Fountains and a couple I think are from the little Indian series.The only Episcia for sale wes a large glass garden with Cleopatra and there were a few large Chiritas.I spent about $65 total,and that's more than I should of...LOL.
