[OGD] Judging
Judging (does anyone do it?) Okwould Andy, or anyone else currently judging, please comment on the cover of the current AQ. The pouch of this paphin my opinionshould preclude any award muchless a larger than life cover shot.No, I am not a judge. I have only raisedorchids for forty-five years and been getting them awarded since 1974 so I do feel Icertainly know as much as some of them in the community. Am posing question here becauseAOS judges generally will not second quess others. Why I don't know. Maybe if they would reconsider some awards wewouldn't have obvious dogs getting high awards just because they are owned by certain exhibitors. Merv Hall Check out AOL.com today.

[OGD] Porpax (Eria) meirax
Greetings - If another soul on this list is growing this plant (or anything remotely like it), I would very much appreciate some cultivation advice, including light, water, fertilizing, heat, sun, bloom time, etc. Very little to be found by googling. Thanks. Regards - Nancy They [orchids] are hot and moist in operation, under the dominion of Venus, and provoke lust exceedingly. --Susan Orlean ___ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) orchids@orchidguide.com http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
