KOS got back into the Orchid Show scene with a 50 sq. ft. entry into the GCOS Show on April 9-10.
We won a first place ribbon on that display, which included over 50 orchids from our members’ collections. Among the 30+ awards were three Best of Class awards!
Best of Class include:
Phalaenopsis NOID-pale pink, grown by Stu Fleischaker
Epidendrum Miura Valley, grown by Karen Bloom
Renanthera monachica, grown by Stephen Benjamin
Stephen’s Renanthera is in the upper left hand corner
Karen’s Epidendrum is at the very top and partly cut off.
The following are the ribbons and awards given the KOS members with the names of their plants
