2008 southland orchid show
OSSC members really distinguished themselves at the 2008
Southland Orchid Show. For the first time in memory, the

category for which it was eligible, including the following awards:
- Gold Award, Best Society Exhibit over 50 Square Feet
- The American Orchid Society Show Trophy for Most
Outstanding Orchid Exhibit
- The Orchid Digest Show Trophy for Best Display, from
the Orchid Digest Corporation
- The Ernest Hetherington Trophy for Best Display of Show
In addition, several plants in OSSC's exhibit were
singled out for top honors:
- Grand Champion of Show, awarded to Richard
Rothschild for his
Oerstedela schweinfurthianum
- The Fordyce “Red” Marsh Memorial Trophy for Best Species
Orchid of Show, awarded to Richard Rothschild for his
Oerstedela schweinfurthianum
- Best Cymbidium of Show, awarded to Estee Magid for her

In addition to the foregoing awards, there
were a number of individuals’ plants in the OSSC display
that won ribbons in the judging. A listing of all 19
awarded plants follows, and the society offers its
collective congratulations to all 8 of our winning plant
growers! Click on the photos above to see full-sized
