Orchids grow all year round so it is not difficult to find something flowering during every month of the year. At Southern Suburbs Orchid Society (SSOS), members grow a wide variety of orchids and seldom have difficulties finding something to bench each month. Here are some examples of what we exhibited in our monthly competition for judging in 2022.

Stanhopea Nigroviolacea [Grower: C Scerri]
Oncidium ‘Wild Cat’ [Grower: M Caruana]

At the February virtual voting competition, 49 entries were submitted. There were 12 entries in Open, 18 in Intermediate and 19 in Novice Section. There were still a variety of stanhopeas and gongoras. See the full listing for February.
