Enjoyed an evening with Fred Clarke

| Wow, he had quite a presentation on his mini/compact catts!!! I purchased one of his blue catt crosses and wished I'd have had the funds to get a couple of the red or yellow hybrids...he showed stunning slides. The only downside to his fabulous breeding being 'no fragrance'!
I also purchased a Cl Rebecca Northern x , but wasn't able to ask questions about culture. I was told that it is blooming size...so maybe??? He's doing a presentation on catasetums in San Antonio on Friday, but I don't think I'll be able to get there to hear him speak again. |

| Make the effort if you can, that is his best presentation. He talks about the development of "After Dark" and might very well have a couple for sale. His presentations on any subject are just great, much more that flower pictures. |

| He is one of the best organized presenters I have ever heard. After one of his talks you have a good grasp of that group of plants. His presentation on Catesetums is definitely his best. We have had him 5 times, are not tired of him and will get him again as soon as he has another presentation ready. Nick |

| He had some After Dark plants with him. I'm just not that keen on so-called 'black' orchids. He even had some re-makes of the plant for $40., which everyone seemed to think a fair price. I've not totally ruled out going on Friday...just depends on several factors. |
