For anyone here at convention, Michael has gathered up 3 boxes of chimeras and sports from the Optimara greenhouse to sell at the Selective Gardener table at 2:30! Be there or you'll regret it.

Vendors, Vendors, Vendors!
I'll have to add in the names later, my blogger phone app doesn't let me caption photos. Then again if you don't know your AVSA vendors, what's wrong with you??

My New Friend April!
This is April, a beautiful galah cockatoo who is the showroom guard bird of Patty's Plants & Antiques.
OMG I'm in LOVE! I'm trying to convince Patty and John that she whispered, "I'd love to live in Portland, Maine!" But they didn't seem to believe me, the nerve!!
Well anyways, we're having a nice time. She likes me to scratch her head and not even think about stopping!
