“Where Friends Meet”

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!

October 2019 Results:

Miltoniopsis Emotion ‘White Face’

Coelogyne cristata ‘Bentleigh’

Judges voted for the Miltoniopsis Emotion ‘White Face’ and the members favoured the very showy Coelogyne cristata ‘Bentleigh’. However, both everyone agrred that both exhibits were very ‘showy’.
