</div> </div> <div class="itemtext"> <p><div style="clear:both;"></div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Took a very long trip up north today to visit the Sonoma County Orchid Society Show & Sale. It was a nice show, but oddly enough I didn't enjoy myself as much as when I went to the San Francisco Orchid Society Show. There could be a multitude of reasons for this including: the long drive; the $7 entry fee; or the weird vibe from the people in the show. Additionally, I'm really begining to notice that there aren't very many vendors that step outside the box when it comes to </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Cattleya </span><span style="font-weight: bold;">alliance plants. If one visits enough shows, one starts to see the same mericlones and hybrids over and over and over again.<br /><br />I had ordered plants from <a href="http://www.floralia.com.br/orchids/index.html"><span style="font-style: italic;">Floralia</span></a></span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">in Brasil and was really looking forward to picking them up. What I found were five bareroot and deadroot plants that will need a lot of TLC over the next few months and will probably be years away from blooming.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">FLORALIA<br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Brassavola perrinii<br />Laelia reginae<br />Sophronitis acuensis<br />Sophronits coccinea<br />Sophronitis mantiquerae<br /><br /></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">I soaked all of the plants in a strong Superthrive and sugar solution for about 45 minutes before I trimmed the numerous dead roots. The <span style="font-style: italic;">Sophronitis </span>have all been mounted on tree bark, while the <span style="font-style: italic;">Laelia </span>and<span style="font-style: italic;"> Brassavola</span> were repotted. I'll have to keep a close eye on all of these plants since the roots systems are so damaged. I expect the recovery to be slow.<br /><br />I also picked up two <span style="font-style: italic;">Cattleya walkeriana </span>seedlings from H&R nurseries. Very nice looking plants with good roots systems. My only regret is that I didn't pick up the compots of <span style="font-style: italic;">C. walkeriana</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">Sophronitis cernua</span> that they were offering, maybe next time.<br /><br />My last stop was Gold Country Orchids. While I'm trying to focus on species, I enjoy primary hybrids from novel crosses and Allen never fails to deliver. I picked up: <span style="font-style: italic;">Sophrolaelia </span>Pole Star (<span style="font-style: italic;">S. coccinea </span>x <span style="font-style: italic;">Laelia briegeri</span>) and <span style="font-style: italic;">Laeliocattleya </span>Kiritsubo (<span style="font-style: italic;">Laelia alaorii </span>x <span style="font-style: italic;">Cattleya walkeriana</span>). There was also a very lage specimen of <span style="font-style: italic;">Laelia sincorana</span> that I picked up.<br /><br />Hopefully the Oakland orchid show will have more promise....<br /> </span><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span></span></span><a href="http://www.floralia.com.br/orchids/index.html"></a><a href="http://www.floralia.com.br/orchids/index.html"></a><a href="http://www.floralia.com.br/orchids/index.html"></a><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><div style="clear:both;
