[OGD] Judging

2006-08-18 Thread mervall



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.

[OGD] Porpax (Eria) meirax

2006-08-18 Thread nancy
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

under the dominion of Venus, 
and provoke lust exceedingly.

Joe and Hideka were banned from the list some years ago. Many others left in support.I asked Joe some time ago if he'd consider coming back, and he said only if Hideka could return, too.

Speaking of MIAs, anyone know whatever happened to George Norris? Is he out of jail yet?

George Norris servedhis sentence and is no 
longer incarcerated. I do not know the exact datethey set him free, 
however he was already out inMarch, 
2006.

Manuel Arias Silva has not served his sentence. He 
escaped from the USA before he was sentenced,with help from Peru. He is 
now 
a USA fugitive.
