Next month is our last ribbon judging session for the year. Let's bring out the best of what we grow and put it on the table! There should be plenty of nice orchids out there, especially with the cooler weather upon us and the lackluster hurricane season. This is your last opportunity to add points towards your ribbon awards.

We think we found a permanent spot to judge our orchids. Everyone, including the judges, like the area where we judged last month. There seems to be plenty of room, it's out of the way of the kitchen, and doesn't disturb the main program if judging runs overtime. We just have to try and finish judging before the show begins. You can help us by bringing in your plants early and then leave the judging area so they can get started.

If you see your orchid with a question mark where your name is supposed to be, bring it to the attention of the judging chairperson so he can make note of it. Thanks.

Other awards are as follows:
