With so many vendors it is hard to predict what species they will have. What I normally do when I want a certain plant is to call vendors that I think will be there before the festival and order plants that I can pick up at the festival.

Another trip where I picked up more than I expected. The auctions plants went fairly cheap and I picked up another A. g. 'Macon'. I also ended up bringing back a narrow leaved Rufa and a small Ph. nigella.
