I will be there for judging on saturday. It is my first time at this show since it conflicts with the much larger Vancouver show. Should be fun!

It sort of depends on what type of orchid you are exhibiting but you definitely need to groom your plant. Get rid of dead leaves, make sure there are no pests on the plants and stake them if they need it. Also, be careful how you get them to the show. Many plants are damaged in transit so package and cushion them well.

Make sure you enter your plants in the proper class. If you have questions, ask someone!

Have fun.....
