Portagrow at the 2013 Oklahoma Orchid Society’s Spring Mothers day show & Sale


Hello again from
 Portagrow!  I hope some of you got the chance to go to the Denver Orchid Society's 2013 spring show at Tagawa Gardens in Denver.  It was a great show even with the blizzard that came through Denver Friday and Saturday.  There were plenty of beautiful orchids to see and photograph, including my first to be submitted for judging that won several awards (see the picture below).  The DOS had two orchid vendors and Portagrow at the show.  The orchid vendors brought hundreds of gorgeous plants to sell and they went fast.  The two vendors were Enthropic Orchids from Denverhttp://enthropicorchids.com/, who has a great variety of orchids on display and also sells some of Portagrow's products and New Earth Orchids from Santa Fe New Mexico http://www.newearthorchids.com  they are a larger scale orchid nursery who attends many shows here in Colorado, and also sells some of Portagrow’s products.

This spring Portagrow will be on the road again traveling to Oklahoma City where we will be one of the vendors in the Oklahoma Orchid Society’s Spring Mothers day show and sale being held at the Will Rodgers Garden Exhibition Center located at
3400 NW 36th Street, Oklahoma City, OK.  We will be displaying our Pocket Greenhouse with our popular Six Tier Grow Stand with HDS, our best selling Three Tier Grow Stand with HDS, and our most affordable Two Tier Grow Stand.  All of our displays will be on sale during the show and will be at 20% off our normal price.  We will also be selling all of the beautiful orchids used in our displays which have been provided by Fantasy Orchids in Louisville Colorado. So this year you will not only be able to take our beautiful display plants home, but will also be able to take any of our display products home, at the end of the show, with out the wait or shipping costs. 

We haven't been to the show in Oklahoma before so it should be a fun trip.  The show should be great, with several orchid vendors selling plants to benefit the Oklahoma Orchid Society and many wonderful exhibits.  Vendors and exhibitors will present their exotic plants from around the world and there will be an information booth to answer your questions concerning growing and blooming your orchids.  There are many types of rare and unusual orchids to be seen and the Will Rodgers Garden Exhibition Center is a great place to see the displays.  

The dates for the 2013 OOS spring show are:

Saturday May 11th, 10:00 am to 4:00 pm
Sunday May 12th, 10:00 am to 4:00 pm

Come by and see us at the show!

Portagrow and the 2013 Denver Orchid Society Spring show


Hello again from Portagrow!  We have had a busy fall and winter traveling through Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rico, Panama and Columbia, where we enjoyed seeing many different types of orchids in their natural environments but unfortunately we missed the fall orchid shows that we normally are vendors at so now it's time to get back to work.

This spring Portagrow will be one of the vendors in the Denver Orchid Society's 2013 spring show and sale being held at Tagawa Garden Center located at 7711 S. Parker Rd. Centennial, CO 80016.  Their web site is http://www.tagawagardens.com/ .  We will be displaying our Pocket Greenhouse with our popular Six Tier Grow Stand with HDS, our best selling Three Tier Grow Stand with HDS, and our most affordable Two Tier Grow Stand.  All of our displays will be on sale during the show and will be at 20% off our normal price.  We will also be selling all of the beautiful orchids used in our displays with all of the proceeds being donated to the DOS at the end of the show.  So this year you will not only be able to take our beautiful display plants home, but will also be able to take any of our display products home, at the end of the show, with out the wait or shipping costs.

The show should be a great one with several other orchid vendors selling plants to benefit the DOS and many wonderful exhibits.  The exhibits are from members of the Denver Orchid Society as well as local growers, hobbyists, and organizations from around the area.  There are many types of rare and unusual orchids to be seen and the Tagawa Gardens is a great place to see the displays.  The abundant natural light shows off the plants magnificently!  

Some of the past vendors at the DOS spring show have been Enthropic Orchids in Denver, http://enthropicorchids.com/, who have a great variety of orchids on display and also sell some of Portagrow's products.  Another from last spring is New Earth Orchids from Santa Fe New Mexico.  They are a larger scale orchid nursery who attends many shows here in Colorado.  http://www.newearthorchids.com.  The DOS has yet to announce who the vendors will be at the 2013 spring show so as soon as we hear from them we will post them here.

The dates for the 2013 DOS spring show are:

Saturday March 9th, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm
Sunday March 10th, 10:00 am to 4:00 pm

Come by and see us at the show!
