2001 east west orchid show

OSSC's display at the 2001 East West Orchid Show, held at the New Otani Hotel & Garden in the Little Tokyo section of downtown Los Angeles, won an unprecedented number of awards, both for the display and the plants therein. The show ran from Friday, October 19 through Sunday, October 21, and attracted thousands of orchid lovers from the Los Angeles area.

This year's theme was "Orchid Trek", and OSSC's entry conjured up the feeling of a South American seaport at the end of an orchid-gathering trek, with a galleon laden with orchids and a dock full of crates bulging with more orchids ready to ship back to the orchid houses of mid-19^thCentury England.
