[To anyone interested] Just to add some further info. I just searched OrchidPro and there have been no AOS awards granted in Taiwan since 2019. 2019 was the last year, at a supplemental judging at the Koo Botanic Garden. Also, no AOS awards in Japan (Tokyo or otherwise) for decades before...

[tl;dr] Dot, how are your benches working out? [long story] Many years ago when Dot Barnett showed her GH construction I noticed the benches weren't placed against the GH walls with one central aisle, it was teh opposite. Benches centrally with the aisles against the walls. Well now I'm in the...

Pretty sure you can generate a list for Colombian orchids as well as their bloom times in OrchidWiz.

The registrar will accept WBW. I came here looking for pics of Paphiopedilum Shih Yueh Swallow since a pic of Paphiopedilum Crowning Glory was just posted to Facebook. They do what they want. shrug.
