Its also a good idea to sign up as early as possible. There are free
raffle tickets given to early registrants for a blooming size division of
Bulbophyllum graveolens 'Long Island' this is one of the most beautiful of
all the bulbophyllums, that can be grown and bloomed easily in the home or
in the greenhouse. register before September 30 and receive six tickets; and
before October 30 and receive three tickets. I am a member of the JPC and
have attended this function for the last five years running. I would not
miss it for the world and in my opinion neither should you.
Great people, great talks, great food and great plants; what else can you
ask for.
