Winter and early spring may seem a poor time to visit Pennsylvania, but last year I visited once in February and again in early March. During these visits, I was fortunate to see three really spectacular orchid exhibits! Come on a repeat tour and see what blooms in Pennsylvania during the winter.

Feb 8 – 10, SC Orchid Society Show, Columbia SC

Thanks to Brenda for the fun contest last month and the plants. She sure knows her orchids!!

SHOW TABLE RULES

Orchid Member’s Show Table is a great way to see orchids other members have grown and share growing tips and ideas. To encourage members to bring in plants the society offers awards for the most and best plants brought in.

Members are separated into large and small grower. Members who have less than 200 plants in their collection are considered small growers and those members with 200 or more plants are large growers.

Commercial grower members are encouraged to bring their plants for educational purposes but are not eligible to acquire points and should display their fine plants on a separate table.

Show table plants must have been owned by the grower for a minimum of 30 days.

Plant may only be entered once for the specific bloom. Plant may be reentered when it blooms on new growth.

To gain points, member must register plant on show table form with legible handwriting and species column checked for extra half point.

(If plants are not registered or handwriting cannot be read, points cannot be given)

SHOW TABLE POINTS

1st place = 5 points * Best species = 15 points

2nd place = 4 points ** Best specimen = 15 points

3rd place = 3 points *** Best flower = 15 points

Honorable Mention = 2 points

The judging year runs from the December meeting to the following November meeting.

An exhibitor is only eligible to receive one FIRST PLACE award in their class and then must sit out one year for award consideration, although they may still enter plants for the monthly competition. There is no limitation on Second or Third place winners.
