They're going to close the gift shop, and close the gardens to the public... I'm down here now, conveniently enough. Guess my timing's good.... :(

I know; heard that this morning, and it's on the web site. What is not yet clear is if *the public* includes members. Not sure, but will find out more soon. It is a sad decline.

Just saw it on the OGD. wow. That was sudden. I had no idea they were even thinking along those lines.

I don't think any of us knew. Possibly members of the SFLC, or some local judges. But that's just a guess.

Off the subjetc but ever look at any of these social network sites. Here's one for crime fiction (my other passion) Crimespace:

I think the AOS webpage should look like that: the ability to post pictures, blogs, videos....
Or maybe I'm nuts.

Interesting site. I haven't been over at the AOS forum for a long time (other than the newsletter section, where I post monthly). IIRC, you could do photos there. Vids too?
Diana
No, you can post a link, but no photos or video.
KNono I'm wrong, you can post a photo.
KWell, just came from there --the gift shop is pretty much cleaned out, and they are currently unsure as to whether they will close to members as well as the public. :(

There's a lot of stuff up in the air, still to be decided. You were only a little over an hour away from us. Next time you're down here, give a shout out before leaving if you like.

I was actually staying out on one of the (gazillions of) golf courses in PSL--is exit 121 considered PSL? (No, I do not golf, but availability is dicey this time of year.) Wow, y'all sure do have a lot of shopping centers. :)
Drove up to odom's; the man's got some serious floof going on. Gorgeous. Good thing I can't grow catts very well, otherwise I would have come home with a carload.

You were 6 minutes from me, give or take. Yes, 121 is PSL. Odom's is sensory overload. Did you get to see the Phal house? It's separate from the main GH, out in back. Phals as far as the eye can see. During the height of Phal season it is quite amazing.

Are Orchids as a hobby shrinking or is it just AOS?
