If you thought that orchids would have finished flowering by November, think again. Eighteen SSOS Club members provided 76 entries for our November virtual voting competition. Although it is a typical time of year for sarcochilus to flower, members still managed to provide a variety of orchids for the competition.

Clearly it was difficult for members to agree on the winner in two of the three categories, so the tied winners get equal points. The winners are:

Dracula navarroorum ‘Vic’ [Grower: C Trainor]

Sarc Sunny ‘Sunny Days’ x Amber ‘Daffodil’ [Grower: M Caruana]

Sarcochilus Firey Glow Hot x Fitzhart Ruby [Grower: S Craven]

Masdevallia Partizan ‘November Stunner’ [Grower: M Fraraccio]

Sarchochilus Hartmanii ‘Oro Puro’ x Washington [Grower: M Fraraccio]

OPEN CATEGORY: Dracula navarroorum ‘Vic'[Grower: C Trainor]

INTERMEDIATE CATEGORY: Tied first – Sarc Sunny ‘Sunny Days’ x Amber ‘Daffodil’ [Grower: M Caruana] and Sarc Firey Glow Hot x Fitzhart Ruby [Grower: S Craven]

NOVICE CATEGORY: Tied first – both grown by M Fraraccio. Masdevallia Partizan ‘November Stunner’ and Sarc hartmanii ‘Oro Puro’ x Washington.

• Well done to the winners (and all entrants) in the November 2021 members Virtual Vote Competition.
