The Australian Cymbidium scene:<br />
current state of cymbidium nurseries<br />
and hybridizers, the styles of flowers<br />
they are producing, and the strengths<br />
and shortcomings of the breeding<br />
programs. The Australian club/society<br />
scene: What must clubs do to ensure the<br />
ongoing health of the industry? How do<br />
we engage and maintain the interest of<br />
the younger generation? That elusive<br />
FCC. What is winning in Australia<br />
and a comparison of the judging<br />
guidelines in Australia and the <strong>CSA</strong>.<br />
It all started when Ernest Hetherington<br />
asked a question and proffered a<br />
statement; “How many Cymbidium<br />
species are there? I think there are 13.”<br />
Ernest's challenge to think<br />
more deeply about the genus<br />
Cymbidium sets the challenge to<br />
all lovers of these wonderful plants.<br />
