What the article did not mention was that Dr Rivero's exhibit at the Puerto Rico Orchid Society Show won the AOS Show Trophy . Four plants in his Exhibit won AOS awards. And one of his dendrobiums species won the Trophy for the Show Grand Champion Plant. The AOS Show Trophy is his second in a row as the week before , his exhibit at the St Croix Orchid Society won the AOS Show Trophy. Luis is in his therd year as a Student Judge serving out of the Florida Caribbean Judging Center and it is expected to be approved for raising to Probationary Judge come the next business meeting of the Center and the next Members Meeting of the AOS. I am more than lucky to have him as one of my friends.
