If you've never been to the Orchid Fest, you are in for a treat! Here in the dry desert, where we just finished an excruciatingly long, hot summer, is a HUGE nursery of these high humidity loving plants. Just the operation alone is mind blowing, but stepping into one of the greenhouses completely filled with these gorgeous, colorful, odd, full of character plants is definitely a sight to see! After you're done browsing and buying your next plant baby to take home, stop by my booth and say hi!
