Wow, thats very impressive! Congratulations! Not ironically it looks a lot like trianae 'the president'. Wonder if its a parent... guess ill look it up...
Update: Not a direct parent but it may be in there somewhere. It is pretty uncanny though... yours is even more full and brilliant.

Oops - sorry!
This isn’t my plant.
Someone brought it in for judging.
The cross originated from Stewart Orchids and was registered by George Off and Sons (Waldor Orchids).
Waldor selected this seedling, hence the clonal name ‘Waldor’.

Thanks!
Also, I get to see some amazing flowers at judging.
If you ever get a chance, attend one of your regional judging centers or bring a plant!

Is there a tip or advice on how to do it? Maybe there is a doc in one of the forums here on where to find info about judgings and how to attend for just observing if that is allowed at all, or how to show a plant, if that is allowed.
I sort of expect that people will say that the best way would be to join local orchid society. That is not always possible. What to do in this case? Some HowTo notes on the process may save someone a long expansive trip and some energy and effort.
Many thanks in advance! |
