Plant overload! That's the best way to describe this show. Growers and nurserymen from all over the world bring their best plants to exhibit, and hope a plant buyer shows some interest. Then people like us, who supply the growers, exhibit also and hope the growers have an interest in us. There is so much to see, that walking through the show is almost overwhelming, especially if you are there for the first time.

Bromeliads (left), and the infamous neon palm tree. This tree shows up at just about every show, and is a landmark for the booth owner.

Orchids are very popular, and there was every type imaginable on display. At the end of the show, many of the growers sell their plants, rather than pay to ship them back home. I always end up with several new items.

This is a HUGE carniverious plant.(right) I tried to buy one, but this particular grower wasn't interested in selling unless I bought a case of 24. Um, no thanks!
