Show displays

Cool! If you judge at London again be sure to let me know. I was thrilled to be asked to be a ribbon judge there last year. It would be great to be on a team with you so I could 'pick your brains'. I don't belong to the London society but may join this year. I am a member of SOOS, Ottawa, RBG and COOS although i may let Ottawa (too far) and COOS lapse this coming year.

I confess my displays suck compared to yours... Good job!

I totally agree with Rob.
I am just learning the design aspect and am on the New Hampshire society's team so I would also like to hear more about this from you pros. Wendy, what sorts of things do you collect for your display toolbox?

While our display a few weeks ago was nice, I thought it was too crowded with large specimen plants. It ended up being overwhelming. I would have been happier with a smaller display.

Heather would you like me to post just what I have in my bag or would you like a general over view of what I take (including plants etc) to set up a display and basics on how to set it up? I'll try and post what you want sometime tomorrow.

Well, unfortunately, I doubt if I'll ever get up to your area for one of your talks but I'd love to hear some of your ideas on show designs

I think a lot of people see a display and are struck by the beauty of it without realizing the effort that goes into putting together such a work of art...

Wendy, you've out done yourself. Your displays are absolutely gorgeous. The third one has my vote as well. I have thoughts running through my head and in total awww...

Really nice! Kudos!

My favorites are the third (with vanda) and the last one (with cattleya). Well done!

Very nice dispalys, I love the more natural ones

Fantastic display Wendy. Congrats on the ribbon. That display definately deserves it

Very well done. I usually help with the display for our ochid society and it is surprising how much work there is in setting up and how short of a time it takes to tear it down
