Judging classes for the British orchid Show – Nov 2nd-4th 2018
Do you have the plants that will win the awards at this years British orchid Show? Our Dendrochilum cobbianum shown above was winner of the Best Species and Best in Show at the last British orchid Congress (Norwich 2016). It is looking even better in the school greenhouse this year BUT it is not going to win again as it will be staying in the greenhouse for visitors to admire and see how we grow our orchids.
The full judging schedule for the show is shown below and all plants displayed at the show will be eligible. If you have a plant you would like to bring along to show and you are not a member of an orchid society displaying at the event we will have a table available for individuals entries.
