Default Miami Orchid Show... save your money


As long as things don't get out of hand, with pagodas and Buddhas
overshadowing the orchids, I think there is plenty of room for both types of
events.


I did my last display with all Phrag. besseae (and one Phrag. besseae v.
delassandroi)... http://tinyurl.com/z8snr

An interesting attempt... Didn't sell many besseae, though (a few).
Thought it was both educational and at least an attempt at art. I'm not
very good at displays though...

3) When one has insufficient credit to obtain more
orchids, obtain more credit

Here's a link that will give you an idea of what Mick was talking about when
he began this thread. These were taken by a friend of mine.

Yeah... well.... it still beats a day at work. ;-)

Did you go to the last 3 images? They sneak in advertisements as if they
were the person's pictures???

Diana,

Thanks for the link - those displays were uniformly boring and
uninteresting, at least to me. The Boca Raton Society Display was a sea of
green foliage with a few orchids here and there. Not good.

Diana,

I think the natives want less displays and more tables selling plants
(preferably species and not all the hybrid junk that gets unloaded on the
newbies in Miami... ed). That's what I would like to see too.
