	3 to 5 TB's or 3 to 5 LA's,  3 to 5 plics, etc.

Somebody said they should all be 'queen of the show' stalks, but I 
would think those super stalks should be reserved for the Best 
Specimen competition. How can one put 3 to 5 stalks with three open 
blooms in a container and not damage them?  Some sort of wedging 
material would have to be used, and that would look unsightly.  And, 
who can muster up as many as five 'queens' for a collection?

	Like,  a collection can be displayed in one container or in 
individual containers.  To me, a collection should be in one 
container....not five different ones.

	Me, too!
