Greetings - While reading through the booket published by an orchid society for their upcoming show, I noticed the notations about submitting plants for AOS judging regarding displaying plants that had been displayed at a previous show. If a plant has been seen already (same flowering), then it can be entered into a display with a notation "not for AOS judging." This I understand; it enhances and makes a society's display fuller. The situation with our society is this: another neighboring society has an upcoming show; our society always makes a display for their show. The very next weekend, our own society is hosting a show. So - the likelihood of our very small group assembling two entirely different sets of plants one week apart is pretty remote. My question for those who are judges, or knowledgeable about this process: rather than sending our 'second string' (aka, pathetic) plants to the first show, and keeping the nicer ones for our own, can we display *unseen* plants at the first show, and notate them as "not for AOS judging" and then have them eligible for judging at our show a week later? Of course, we always want to set up the most attractive booth we can, but we certainly want to dazzle and awe at our hometown show. Any valid opinions on this? Thanks - Nancy
