We\u2019d like to have a nice display that showcases the blooming orchids of our members.\u00a0 So\u00a0please let us know if you have any orchids that you would like to contribute to the display<\/strong>.\u00a0 Plants must be healthy and free of critters.\u00a0 And, of course, they must be in bloom except for what are called the jewel orchids which are grown primarily for their leaf patterns and colors (Anoectochilus. Goodyera, Ludisia, etc,).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cheryl Mizak in Southbury will be collecting the plants from members. Arrangements must be made to get your plants to Cheryl by Wednesday, 2\/18. Her availability is Tuesday 2\/17 11am-2pm or Wednesday 2\/18 11am-4pm.\u00a0 Make sure your plants have been properly watered as there will not be a chance to water them during the show.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The take-down crew will contact you after the show to make arrangements to return any plants you contribute.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Contact: Christian Lesage via email at <\/strong>ctorchidsociety@gmail.com<\/strong><\/a> or call\/text 475-238-4934<\/strong><\/p>\n

Contact: Cheryl Mizak via email at\u00a0<\/strong>cheryl@alcher.com\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>or call\/text to 203-264-6001<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All plants in the display MUST BE pre-registered<\/strong>.\u00a0 This allows them to be considered for show judging to win ribbons and trophies.\u00a0 It also allows the setup crew to create plant labels and plan the display ahead of time.\u00a0 This saves a lot of time on setup day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Please register your plants yourself<\/strong>, \u00a0the Plant Classifications, Registration Guidelines and Registration Form\u00a0*<\/strong>\u00a0are available at the following link: https:\/\/www.deepcutorchidsociety.org\/show<\/a><\/p>\n

Scroll down to the Plant Registration Instructions section of the page and click on Digital Plant Registration Form <\/em>on the right<\/p>\n

You can register until\u00a012PM sharp on Thursday February 19th<\/strong><\/p>\n

**Please\u00a0also include Cheryl and Christian on distribution when you email your registration form(s)<\/strong>\u00a0so that plant labels can be made up ahead of time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you are unsure about registering your plants for yourself, Christian<\/strong> is willing to register your plants for you\u00a0between now and Tuesday, February 17th<\/strong><\/p>\n

Send both Cheryl and Christian an email that includes the name of the plant(s) based on your plant label so that\u00a0Christian has it no later than noon on Tuesday, February 17th<\/strong><\/p>\n

Including a photo of the flower is also greatly appreciated if possible.\u00a0 Plants are often classified by flower color and plant size, so a photo is very helpful.\u00a0 If growing on a windowsill or under lights, please also indicate that. Also, if the flower is fragrant between mid-morning and mid-afternoon, let Christian know that.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s have a great display that represents our members.<\/p>\n

Do you have any bloomers you would like to contribute?\u00a0 Are you unsure or do you have any questions?\u00a0 Please contact Christian or Cheryl.<\/p>\n
