There's a new story entry added:

AOS Judging

Just wanted to bring you guys another Page from our site.If you are new to orchids, or are unfamiliar with the process of receiving an award for your plant, a good place to begin is at your local orchid society. At most meetings, members display their blooming plants for show table judging in which points or ribbons are granted. A group, usually accompanied by an AOS judge, will decide the best orchid in each category. Later in the meeting, each plant will be critiqued individually as to its flower and cultural merits. Another benefit of society membership is that you may display your orchids in your society?s exhibit at local orchid shows where they will be eligible for AOS judging.

Very interesting reading. Particularly about the AQ where you present 12 plants of a cross etc.

I'm a student in another country and the differences in judging is always of interest to me.

Thank you!
