In the world of orchids, beauty isn't just skin deep. It's a mystery waiting to be unraveled...As one of the largest flowering plant families in the world, many orchids look very similar and can be misidentified, even by experienced orchid judges.
When in doubt, orchids are measured, photographed, and described in detail for the American Orchid Society's Species Identification Task Force to review and determine the correct name.
Join Arthur Pinkers, a seasoned orchid photographer with over 30 years of experience, as he unveils the behind-the-scenes process for capturing the details needed by the Species Identification Task Force.
Enjoy this rare sneak peek into an interesting aspect of the American Orchid Society's Awards Program and the 'measures' we take to ensure the accuracy of our historical records and correctly honor award-winning orchids.
