lots of useful information..thanks

interesting

Glad you were able to video this! Edgar pretty much hit everything. Here's a Paph trick I learned. Paph flowers usually develop so the dorsal sepal protects the pouch from rain. This results in flowers that seem to be angled slightly downwards. To remedy this let the flower open without spiking. When it is open for a day, stake it so it's angled back a bit. The pouch will reorient itself downwards and the flower will be presented better. Love you my orchid wife!

Good advice :)

what show is this?

great information thank you

Thanks for sharing this Anna!!!

Really interesting, love this information, thanks.

Very nice! I really need to join an orchid society!

Wow wow wow! Can you tell him thank you for all these tips? I feel like I'm a kid who just learned how to count! All the tips are so useful and I've never heard of this before. So much work!

And thank you Anna for sharing!

This video was really interesting. Not only for exhibitions, but for our own pleasure: ) Mangled flowers on a catt, after one year of waiting, it's not a pretty side: ) Thank you so much for sharing this!

really good useful valuable information. thank you for sharing.

Awesome video. All these things are very nice to know, and I enjoyed a lot seeing how he made those supports out of green wire. Lots of good ideas from this video, not only for shows, but for general orchid maintenance. Thanks, Anna! <3

Very good tips even if you don't want to take them to the shows, thank you for posting Anna!

thanks for this video! ! I added it to my favs list! it's loaded with great tips! ! :)

Does orchid really go in shock? 1 of mine fell and died.

Thanks for this. I never learned this when I went to my first show, but I wanted them to look as nice as they could, so I cleaned them up. However, I totally spaced it the next time and felt like a damn fool. This is great.

Great!
