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 2018.
- After a mild Autumn, the weather turned and we were in the midst of a wintry cold snap by June competition time. It was still a little early for Cymbidiums to flower, but there were a couple on display along with Beallaras, Cattleya Alliance, Dendrobium, Dockrillia, Paphiopedilums, an Osmoglossum and a brilliantly yellow Gomesa
