Diodonopsis erinacea 'Galaga' CCE/AOS

[cnycharles]

Very very nice! I had been told that my educational display was worthy of an educational award, but when I had it registered at shows they never gave it one. I encouraged a nearby orchid club president to enter an educational display in our show last month and his display received an AOS award (I had given up officially entering mine for judging but always display it for those visiting the show and nature center). His definitely was worthy of an award. He had pleuros growing in glass globes; they were excellent and was a big reason he received an award

Eric- I am not sure. In SLC, we have a very few # of judges. Denver has a few more. She may be over there. I know faces better than names, because I haven't been here very long.

Lynn is in the Ann Arbor, MI, judging area. It's called the Great Lakes Judging Center..

I don't know if I'll get used to the new genus, but amazing. Flowers look pretty big compared to mine, too.

Great job!

Since the show, the plant put up a spontaneous pod. If someone would like it I am happy to mail it.

Oh, seed pod. I thought this was like a keiki.

If you are looking for a division I will keep you in mind down the road.

Thanks for the offer. If I don't kill the one I have, then I definitely would be interested in one in the future.

You'll be fine. I found that the plant should stay heavily shaded and the fertilizer amounts very low. I push my plant and have yellowing leaf tips as a result.
