Peter, thank you for your posting on the list. This type of reply makes it worth while asking questions on this list. I fully understand what you have said. Sorting out large groups orchids is a good thing and is definitely required but it seems that some in the orchid world ( not on this list
It's possible, yes... we do it from time to time.
You need to plan ahead a little, at least to have the necessary supplies on hand. These include a box large enough to accommodate the inflorescence with plenty of room to spare, so that packing (and possibly insulating) materials can be added. You

Well, this brief discussion of cut flowers for judging came a couple of
weeks too late for me. We just had our annual show and I had brought in
a cutting of Cyp. reginae just to dress up our plant registration table.

I've gotta agree with your whole post there mate. When the Dockrillias were
separated from dendrobium there was very little, if any resistance to that
change. Why? Because it made perfect sense! The plants looked nothing like
a dendrobium, the flowers bore a fleeting resemblance although they

To Paul, thanks for the Back-up. There has to be a point where common sense takes over. As for the judges at ANOS, I dont know many or all of them but to not judge an orchid because of an incorrect name is bad. If they had any mind at all they would have corrected the name for the exhibitor as a
