| In Santa Barbara International Orchid Show, applied flowers were judged by CSA (Cymbidium Society of America) or AOS (American Orchid Society) at the same time. The judge members of each Societies were devided in many groups and take charge of defferent exhibitin area. The big difference is they didn't prepare the applied flowers of same category in the same area. So, we have to look for the applied flower in the exhibited area. Sometimes, we could not find out the applied flower. In case of AOS, they will jugde all kinds of orchids and in case of CSA, they will judge Cymbidiums and Paphiopedilums. I participated in CSA judge with other 4 members and judged Cymbidiums and Paphiopedilums of course. In California, we judged many varios Cymbidiums from their original breeding, I was surprised and enjoyed the difference that I have never seen. | |
| This judge was very labor. It takes so long time from AM 9:00 to PM 5:00 almost because we had a lot of applied flowers and we judged carefully one by one. | |

| Desk for judge. The judge members of CSA or AOS confirmed their own group members here. | In the short time before judging, we enjoyed breakfast prepared. It's so delicious. |
