We hope everyone brought some nice orchids to our show. Did they win any awards or ribbons? Registered orchids that won ribbons at the show will receive double points towards regular ribbon judging. Any member's orchid receiving an AOS Award will receive 1st place toward ribbon judging and the EEOS Award equivalent to the AOS point score. Our judges will take note & record all awards.
