This month Jason Harpster completes his two-part article on the confusion behind the parents of Cattleya Penny Kuroda and Cattleya Hawaiian Fantasy. Clare Hermans and Johan Hermans walk us through the 129-year history of The Orchid Review, the world's oldest continuously published orchid periodical and Nile Dusdieker and Cheryl Erins tell us about the Eastern Iowa Orchid Society's Halloween theme-based orchid show. Spiro Kasomenakis relates his experience coming face-to-face with a rare alpine orchid, Gymnadenia rhellicani and we present a two-page photographic spread of a selection of award photographs by the late Charles Marden Fitch.SEE THE 2022 ANNUAL SUPPLEMENT "HYBRIDIZERS" AS WELL(PUBLISHED AND DISTRIBUTED ALONGSIDE THIS MONTH'S ISSUE)VIEW SUPPLEMENT  |   DOWNLOAD SUPPLEMENT
