CITES plants and hybrids: AOS judging & showing
Sue, are you speaking as an AOS judge or a society showchair? I am assuming
the guidelines for judging or showing such plants come from a common source and all of you follow them. You require CITES clearance paper going back 5 years if a Ho Chi Minh shows up for judging or in a show. Is this true at all AOS sponsored events in the US? I have a potential cusotmer who has asked me to provide proof of legality for this hybrid so he can show them...and I assume he means at shows and to AOS judges. I have sent this question to the one of the local judges I know to see what he can tell me about what is required at my local judging station if such a plant is set in front of them but I was wondering if anybody on this forum who is a judge or showchair can tell me the specific policy that guides them... FWIW, Antec did not provide any such Cites clearance to me for Paph Ho Chi Minh flasks purchased through them. I have a credit card receipt dated 09-29-2003 from Antec AND an undated invoice that lists a Ho Chi Minh flask stapled to it. But nothing ties these two pieces of paper together except a total price which is on both the invoice and the receipt. Antec sent me another flask of Ho Chi Min in February of 2005 as part of a "Flask Grower Package" which included many other hybrids as well. It was part of group purchase in which I let them pick out which flasks to send. But the receipt does not list the specific flasks they chose.

Personally - I would want a copy for at least the first couple of years. (say 5 yrs). Then I think there will be enough plants around - including the illegal ones that there will be a much lower risk. SuE http://orchids.legolas.org/gallery/orchids |
