Hi,
I will not be able to attend the review of the chapters on Tuesday. I have reviewed the four chapters and have only one observation:
This statement was left out of the MDB chapter:
The skills of the exhibitor are evaluated here. The specimen should reflect visible improvement in the flower and stem resulting from the exhibitor’s grooming. This includes neat removal of diseased or damaged foliage; cleanliness of the stem and flower; absence of insect infestations; firm upright positioning of the specimen; facing of the specimen; and a neat removal of spent blossoms, including the ovaries, with no damage to the spathes. The result should be a specimen being presented in its best possible appearance.
A judge may encounter trickery such as pinning or taping of flower parts, flower replacement from another stem, splicing of stems, unattached leaves or leaf spathes, cracking of stems to make them appear straighter, or hidden supports and wedges. If any such alterations are found, the entry is to be disqualified from competition.
Is there a reason it was left out?
Janis

If you send me changes and suggestions before Tuesday, I can include them in the chapter that goes up on the screen. Send them to my personal email address, please. Or bring your suggestions to the Zoom meeting.
