REPORT stem length, and excellent resistance to fusarium. I


n the miniatures, the most outstanding were Jade, a very good green with excellent stem quality and number of flowers per stem and also high fusari-


um resistance; 09M789 is a very promising hot pink, with an excellent stem length and number of flow- ers per stem, a very stable color and a very balanced spray, not too close, not too separate. DCM080234 was also highly regarded for its speed, pure white color, and number of flowers per stem.


O


verall we had two excellent weeks of show, with a huge attendance, where growers could enjoy not only the exhibition of our


varieties but also some delicious snacks. The Selec- ta Colombia’s team is very thankful with our hosts, Flores Aurora, for the special dedication and effort placed, that was evident in the neatness of the plant- ing, the quality of the crop, and the readiness of their staff to help, all of which was definitive to make this a very successful show.
