Barry Jones on Orchid Judging

Our August Speaker is Barry Jones, an AOS Judge for the Cincinnati Judging Center. You may remember Barry from a zoom meeting in early 2022, where he shared a great presentation about orchid judging, but told us the best way to really learn about judging is to do it in person. Barry will be joining us again in August to speak in person on judging, and to show us how it is done in person. We will have an actual AOS judging at our meeting in August! Bring your very best blooming plants, there is a chance it could win an AOS award! This is a great opportunity to understand how orchids are judge and see it happen in real time.

Barry and his wife Jane have been growing orchids for over 40 years, many species of Dendrobiums, Bulbophyllums, as well as many other unique orchids. He has been an AOS judge for over 25 years.

Update‼️

Height of spadix has reached 69” today. Not much of an update from yesterday afternoon. Spathe is still peeling away from spadix.

We are so close to bloom! It could bloom today, tomorrow, or in any second. We are all patiently waiting🌱

CULTIVO:

🌹Gosta de ficar fixo em madeira com as raízes livres ou amarradas em árvores a minha está numa árvore de canela;

🌹luminosidade: o dia inteiro a pleno sol ou numa parte com muita luminosidade no seu orquídario;

🌹Regas não é exigente com regas, pode molhar quando as raízes estiverem secas, mas tolera um bom período de seca;

🌹 Adubação: pode colocar uma trouxinha (basacote ou osmocote e um bocashi) ou usar o adubo de sua preferência, uso o Nutriorqui 1 vez por mês.

🌹 É perfumado, a fragrância é semelhante a hortelã.

🌹 As flores duram em média uns 5 dias se não forem molhadas e o sol não estiver tão forte.

🌹As abelhas são apaixonadas por eles (flores), não importa se você está numa capital, se tiver abelhas por perto elas vão acha-lo, um verdadeiro espetáculo de vida e natureza.
