Question
Sirs,

I'm from the Dutch speaking part of Belgium, so my apologies for the pore English!

The 24th of June I com to Las Vegas to join a conference held in the casuarina-hotel.

Sunday the 25th and Friday the 30th in the afternoon I will be free. I love to visit an orchid grower in Las Vegas ore have contact with an orchid society.

Can you recommend me something?

I'm just an non-commercial orchids lover.

Please visit my site www.PnPOrchids.be you will see some travel story's a forum a lot of pictures, all in Dutch, but even than I think you'll be interested. If you have a meeting on Friday the 30th, and you might have a lap-top and beamer I could bring a presentation about the European orchids if you like.

Best regards

Groetjes,
Patrick

Hello Patrick,

I do not know of any orchid nurseries in the Las Vegas area but there is an orchid society there.  Here is the information about it:

Greater Las Vegas Orchid Society
Meeting Info: 1st Sunday, monthly, 2 pm  
AOS Rep: Carol Siegel
8601 Robinson Ridge Dr.
Las Vegas, NV 89117  
USA
Tel:702-254-4168  
E-mail: [email protected]

You might try e-mailing them about possibly meeting some of their members and maybe even visiting their greenhouses.  

Good luck with your quest. Good luck gambling too. (grin)

No need to apologize for your English writing, I did not have any trouble understanding you.
