Hello, I'm here at the 94th Orchid Exhibition from AOSP.
Orchidophilic Association of São Paulo.
Guys, this here is a dream, a visual feast.
On plant more beautiful than the other!
And I'm here, I'm going to ask Reinaldo Ilaci from Orquidário Paulista to come here.
And talk a little bit about the criteria for us to understand.
Because there is a contest, right? Here.
And Rei will explain a little bit what are the judging criteria of the plants .
Well, I'm here again with Reinaldo Ilaci at the 94th Exhibition of AOPS
Orchidophilic Association of São Paulo.
He will talk a little bit about the judging criteria.
These people who are passing behind us are the judges that are going to judge the plants.
How are you, Rei? How are you, Nô?
How does it work? What are the criteria?
What are they judging?
They form groups to make the judgment.
And these groups will judge a particular type of plant.
For example; Cattleya species or hybrid cattleya.
Hybrids, Miltonia (Pansy Orchids), foreign plants, micro orchids.
So there are several categories.
Then they form groups of judges to discuss the technical parts of these plants that will be judged.
To see what is the best plan.
And what do they take into account?
First would be the shape of the flower.
First is flower shape.
There is an international standard made by AOS American Orchid Society.
It makes the judgment of the flower.
The second issue is the well-cultivated plant, beautiful plant, healthy.
Another thing is also the plant be big, beautiful, right?
Many plants that win on the exposition are full, beautiful plant.
They will always have an advantage over the others.
Some plants that win the contest with a small plant with a very perfect flower.
But most plants that are a show in the exhibition are very large plants.
Full of flowers.
Full of flowers, right? Like the one that we were showing, on that the corner, right?
Yes.
That is, wow is a spectacle.
And the more the flowers there is on the plant, more beautiful it is.
That's what is important.
That is why many people tell not to be cutting the plant.
Not be doing seedlings. Seedlings, exactly.
The larger the plant, the plant grows stronger, beautiful.
It will give more flowers and it will draw much more attention.
And in the case of exposure will be much more interesting.
What was the criterion of flower you were talking about me, triangles?
The flower you will make two triangles over it (imaginary ones).
And the more the flower fill those two triangles, one upside down
and one in the normal position.
Like a Star of David.
It will form this group.
And the more harmonious it gets, the more the petals fill those stars, the flower has a better standard.
The other criteria would be this thing of great plant, right?
Beautiful, all open flowers.
There are many cases of very rare flower colors.
In the case it would be a genetic defect and for us is collectible.
So all this should be taken into consideration.
The rarity of the plant, the difficulty of cultivation.
If you bring a very difficult plant to take care of, full of flowers here.
Surely it will get special attention, right?
A very special attention.
But the main is this.
It is a beautiful set, lots of flowers, and a healthy plant.
And the flower shape that counts a lot.
Well, for those who are thinking:
"Oh, you're talking about exposition, I want to know more about orchids cultivation"
I have already arranged with the Rei, we'll do one more series of videos, right, Rei? Yes.
Talking about orchids cultivation.
So have a little bit more patience.
This was just a special to talk about the exhibition.
I could not miss this wonderful opportunity, right?
