To James Morrison
Depending where you are you can look at the American Orchid Society, Orchid Review (UK), MAlayan Orchid Review (Singapore) and the Australian Orchid Review. The regularly listed shows and awards. |

Thank you all--this has been quite helpful.  If I get this piece published, OrchidSpring will definitely appear in the acknowledgments. Thanks! |

In the late 1940s growing orchids was a hobby for rich people only. Although Dr. Lewis Knudson of Cornell University developed his orchid propagaton formula in 1922, propagating orchids in large numbers did not take off until the 1950s. In Thailand, since then one of the largest orchid producers in the world, the orchid hybrid that was most sought after in the late 1940s was Dendrobium Madam Pompadour. |

"what orchid would be the most desirable--and rare--in the cultivating community?"
One possible source of information: Orchid magazine advertizing. |

Hello, all. This is a very nice place you have and I thank you in advance for any adive you might have.
The problem: I'm writing a novella in which orchids play an important role and I haven't been able to find a key piece of information, which is this: in the late 1940's (c.1948), what orchid would be the most desirable--and rare--in the cultivating community? Any ideas would be much appreciated. =) |
