Pertandingan kali ini di adakan secara ad-hock...tiba-tiba saja Presiden baru FOMOS (Mr Micheal Ooi) contact hari Jumaat lepas; katanya Orchid Show akan diadakan pada 26 Sept (Ahad) ini.
Tiada angin , tiada ribut...tiba-tiba saja ada Orchid Show. Kelam kabut juga, kerana tidak buat persediaan langsung, mesyuarat persatuan pun tidak ada.

This time, the Orchid show is not well planning, just ad-hock ...suddenly the new FOMOS president (Mr Micheal Ooi) called and informed, the monthly show will held on this Sunday (26 Sept).
No info...not well plan...even no society meeting...we need to organize the show. Is quite messy now, no preparation at all.

Memang sentiasa ada bunga yang berkembang...di 'mini farm' ini, tapi tidak boleh dapatlah bunga yang 'perfect' untuk show kali ini.

There are always have orchid in bloom in my small garden...but the quality not so perfect for orchid show.

Kebiasaannya notis Orchid Show keluar 3-4 minggu awal,  jadi...segala persediaan dari segi racun dan baja yang konsisten akan diberi kepada orchid, supaya bunga yang berkembang nanti lebih berkualiti. Perkara ini dilakukan untuk mengelakkan 'stress' yang berlebihan sewaktu berbunga. Jika 'strees' yang berlebihan pokok kemungkinan lambat berbunga semula atau keadaan yang lebih teruk, pokok akan mati. Lebih-lebih lagi jika pertandingan dan pertunjukkan yang lebih dari 3 hari. Selepas saja pertandingan bunga perlu terus dibuang bagi merehatkan pokok dan untuk memastikan pokok akan lebih segar dan bersedia untuk pertandingan akan datang.

Normally the notice/ newsletter Orchid Show out 3-4 weeks early, so ... all the preparations in terms of pesticides and fertilizers which would be consistent to the Orchid, so that the flowers will grow better quality. This was done to avoid the 'stress' over during flowering. If 'strees' over the possibility of late flowering of trees or a more serious condition, the tree will die. Moreover, if the competition and show more than three days. After the the contest, the flower were cut/ removed immediately to give  enough rest for trees and to ensure that the trees will be fresh and ready for the next competition.
