Going for Gold: Awardable Characteristics of Vanda denisoniana and Its Hybrids

A brief overview of breeding with Vanda denisoniana and a close look at judging Vandas and how denisoniana offspring fit in to the picture. Vanda judging emphasis is generally on full, flat, and round flowers. This project demonstrates other 'awardable' qualities with examples from one of today's most prolific hybridizers of denisoniana, Martin Motes.

Joanna is a member of the MOS and a chair for our annual show. She is also a probationary judge for the AOS. She and her husband live in Wilton NH and have been raising orchids for 20 years.
