Southern Suburbs Orchid Society Inc.

At most SSOS meetings, members have an opportunity to ‘bench’ their flowering orchids for judging. There are three sections in which members can enter the competition which include:

Novice | Intermediate | Open

SSOS allows its members to vote for their favourite plant on show at each monthly meeting as well.

On most occasions, what the “people” like is vastly different to what the Judges like, but occasionally everyone agrees!

April Winners:

Cattleya Dendi’s Perfection

Vanda Mahakaphongs

• Winner of Judges Vote was Cattleya Dendi’s Perfection and the Popular Vote went to Vanda Mahakaphong.

Not all dendrobiums are the same. Most Australian dendrobiums are hard-cane varieties, but there are also some wonderful soft-cane varieties that can be grown in southern Australian climates that are well-suited to our local environments.

• At our meeting on Wednesday 6th March, 2019, our guest speaker focussed on Softcane Dendrobiums.
