Default A thought about Orchid presentation and aethestic in judging.

Recently I visited a cactus and succulent show in my city, and it was a quite a treat to the eyes.
Beside the impressive showcase of robust cultivated plants or the pretty blooms, what surprised me more is the "staging" section. My first thought was, 'is this bonsai but for cactus?.' Of course it is not, but I believe the tenet of staging is synonymous to bonsai in term of ornamentation.

I really like the thoughts goes before behind the decoration. The choice of rocks, topping, and sometime even the stress pattern of the cactus encapsulate a slice of nature on a pot. It is as if you are seeing the plant in situ.
Then I thought, does orchid shows have this sort of judging? Can one bring this sort of aesthetic approach to cultivation in the orchid scene? It furthers reconfirm why I like growing orchids on sticks or among moss so much, because it just feels like the orchid is in the 'right place.'
I understand that it is very difficult because most orchid cannot be easily manipulated or trained like cactus and succulent, but I think it would be really cool if orchid show can adopt a similar fashion of bonsai, or wabikusa, or whatever that enhance the presentation of the orchid beside showing how beautiful it is by itself.
