New, but old

[Brian Monk]

Hi y'all. I have been raising orchids for about 20 years. I just became a student judge for the AOS in June, and I have really enjoyed myself. I have a strong interest in hybridizing, and a short list of my projects and goals includes:
1. Standard pink cattleya with an all white lip and column.
2. Multifloral white and pink paphs.
3. Warmth tolerant red oncidinae crosses.
4. Remaking old hybrids with different and new species.
5. Epi. magnoliae crosses.
6. Warmth tolerant Masdevallias and Lycastes.
7. Intergeneric hybrids using Maxillaria.

I look forward to using the list!

Welcome to the Orchid Board. Glad you could join up. Once you become a judge/full judge/graduate, let us know so we can celebrate and give you proper title here. AOS judges get an AOS JUDGE Badge under their usernames.

That is quite a varied list of objectives! Of course, for many of them you have previous work from others to access. Good luck in hybridizing and judging!

Welcome, Brian. Great ambitions in the hybridizing. Good luck and keep us up to date. The 'new' primary hybrids sound intriguing.
