******************************************** WA Orchid Spectacular Well, what a wonderful
weekend we had at the WA Orchid Spectacular & Conference 2017.
Many of us are still getting over the efforts that members put
in to make the event the great success that it turned out to be.
Some of our WJOS members were winners with Tony Bud and Tony W doing well in the Photographic Competition, with Tony B taking 1st in the Black & White section and also gaining some Highly Commended pictures, and Tony W 2nd in B & W and also 3rd in the Color section. One of Bruce's pictures was also mentioned in the Highly Commended section. Charly & Gerda had the Champion Vandaceous in Show with their Rhychostylis gigantea which had two spikes of red and white flowers and looked superb.
Tony and Mavis's Phalaenopsis hieroglyphica was judges Champion Phalaenopsis in Show even though the flowers have been our for some months now.
Bruce took the Champion Australian Native in Show with his Dendrobium Aussie Starlight X Den. Aussie Victory.
But the best of all was the Grand Champion orchid being won by Kevin Butler of Ezi-Gro Orchids with Cymbidium Lemon Sorbet 'Dancer'. This had two magnificent inflorescences of yellow/green flowers with red markings.
And not to be outdone, Rod Halliday
won the first prize in the raffle and wheeled his winnings home
in the wheelbarrow. And 'hard work' it was too. Starting
on the Thursday afternoon with Chris and Charly getting the equipment
to the venue and up the car lift to the ballroom floor. Rosa,
Tony and Sandy, Lynne, Gerda, John H, Denny and Margaret all falling
over each other to set up the display, only to be back bright
and early the next morning to put the orchids in the WJOS display.
A special thanks from me (as the Show Marshall) to both Chris (the Registrar) and Victor (Assistant Registrar) for all the great work they did getting all the orchid entries in order for the judges. It was a very difficult assignment for them as they were constantly interrupted by folk looking for something else. Thanks to them, the judging was completed without too much hassle, and the orchids headed in to the displays. Much of the events success relied
on the thoughtfulness of members who brought their orchids in
for the show and displays. An enormous thanks to them all. All of the above were there, helping
out with jobs that had to be done. And their efforts are a credit
to the Wanneroo/Joondalup Orchid Society Finally, the event would not have happened without Bruce so a huge vote of thanks to him. ******************************************** Bus Trips Two bus trip during July were greatly appreciated by members. The first to Tropical Colours and Flora Plant, which was well and truly oversubscribed with about 40 odd people coming along despite a rainy day, many providing their own transport as the bus only had 23 seats, including the driver. Just as well they did, as there was an abundant shortage of space on the drive home. Orchids in some strange places. Many were brought back in cars as they would not fit into the bus with a search at this end to figure out what plants belonged to whom. (Or vice versa) all seemed to turn out in the end with many happy owners of new orchids. A great day was had by all. The trip to the shows presented by the Mandurah Orchid Club at Rockingham and South Eastern Orchid Society was less full to say the least with only a dozen or so aboard the bus. Low numbers can make hiring the bus a loss generating enterprise and we may have to reconsider the benefits to members of this trip in future. ******************************************* * The Report from the Inter
Society Display and Workshop * A Note To Novice
Growers * The Western Australian Regional Orchid Organisation has agreed to pay the $50 cost of all future AOC awards that are granted by the Orchid Judges Panel of WA. Our Society used to pay this but there were very few takers in recent years. If you have an orchid that you think may be of award quality, talk to one of the judges in our Society. Tony W & Chris. *********************************************** Meeting Results July 2017
