November is sarcochilus flowering time in Victoria. At the recent Southern Suburbs Orchid Society (SSOS) virtual voting competition, members from three grower categories: Novice, Intermediate and Open submitted a collection of beautiful hybrids and species.
- The plants and flowers were of such a great standing, it is hard to work out which grower’s category each was shown in.
Check these photos and see if you can decide which category they were submitted.
