2005 southland orchid show
As it has every year since its inception, OSSC again
participated in the Southland Orchid Show, held this year for the first
time at the Huntington Library, Art Collection, and Botanical Gardens,
which turned out to be a great venue. This year's theme was
"Orchid Muse", and our volunteers realized the theme with a trio of
overscale muses dancing around a massive column in a “garden” of
orchids. The show ran from Friday, October 21 through Sunday, October
23, 2005.
OSSC’s display garnered many awards, including the
following:
- Most Outstanding Orchid Exhibit, awarded by
The American Orchid Society,
- Best Display, awarded by the Orchid Digest
Corporation,
-
The Huntington Trophy for Best Theme of Show, awarded by the
Southland Orchid Show Committee,
- Best Paphiopedilum Display, awarded by the
Cymbidium Society of America,
- the new Gordon Clayton Memorial Award for Best
Paphiopedilum or Phragmipedium, awarded by the Southland Orchid
Show Committee,
- Bronze Award for Best Society Display over 50
Square Feet, awarded by the Southland Orchid Show Committee.
Pictures showing the construction and completion of
this display can be found
here.
In addition to the society’s awards,
there were a record number of individuals’ plants in the OSSC
display that won ribbons in the judging. A listing of
all 39 awarded plants follows, and the society offers its collective
congratulations to all 11 of our winning plant growers!
