This presentation will cover the most exciting of the over 80 AOS & TOGA awards given to phals this past March at the TIOS 2009  Show in Taiwan . . .  new colors, new patterns, new miniatures and exceptional culture.

 

 

1:30 - 2:30 pm:  Russ Vernon of New Vision Orchids: 
'New Breeding Trends in Harlequin Phals'

 

Russ will cover some of the newest advances in harlequins as a result of selective breeding to create these fourth generation hybrids.


There will be  phals available in the sales tent to support the IPA Color Fund.  Please support the IPA color efforts.  If each attendee only buys one phal to support the IPA Color Fund, this will go a long way to insuring the finest Phalaenopsis color publication possible.

As was the case last year, they will be on the sales tables of the OrchidPhile, New Vision Orchids and Brennan's Orchids.  Pleas make plans now to attend and by all means, bring a friend or two and introduce them to orchids...
