End of year ‘Mini Show’ celebration
As has become our end of year tradition, this month we held a members-only mini show to celebrate our last meeting for 2024. It was a fantastic way to bid farewell to the year, showcase some stunning orchids and announce the winners of our Judge’s Choice awards.
Graham and Beryl’s Paph. Harold Koopowitz orchid, pictured below, was crowned the mini show Champion Orchid.
The show’s Reserve Champion prize went to Rod and Jan for their orchid, Aerides rosea, pictured below.
We also announced our annual Judge’s Choice award. All of our monthly Judge’s Choice winners were considered for the prize and the 2023 winner chosen. Tom took out the award with his beautiful Dendrobium Enobi Purple (March’s Flower of the Month) while Annette was crowned this year’s novice winner for her plant Trichoglottis atropurpurea. These magnificent orchids can be viewed here.
The gallery below features some of the other orchids that were displayed at this year’s mini show. Clicking on the photo will enlarge it.
Well done to all our winners and a huge thank you to everyone who helped make 2023 such a success. We look forward to doing it all again next year.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
