That's a good question. I know we had a plant mailed to the Pac central
region a few years ago. (A paph IIRC) BUT!! I have no idea how to package
the plant properly so as not to have it damaged in transport.

If I were you I'd call Maynard Michel of Orchids Orinda. Either he or his
wife Helen would be able to advise you. The Michels are designated as the
people to mail plants to the Pac Central region. (925) 447-7171

I have several plants in bloom that I'm told are award quality but I'm not
particularly interested in traveling to one of the regional judging
centers
that are 3 hours away.

I read that you can mail plants or cut flowers to a designated individual
and they will be judged at the next session.

Has anyone had any luck mailing cut flowers and receiving awards? It
seems
that the whole plant would have a better impact on the judging team.

Thoughts?
