MARIBYRNONG ORCHID SOCIETY WINTER SHOW FOR 2008

We had a good turnout to see our 2008 Winter Orchid Show, despite the cold. There were some fantastic Winter flowerers. As well as our member's orchid displays, refreshments, plant sales and orchid accessory sales and a raffle were all a part of the weekend.

Here are some photos that were taken at the show.


The Grand Champion Orchid of the Show was this magnificent Phragmapedium Living Fire 'Queenscliffe'

This Paphiopedilum villosum was one of many plants to win multiple sections

Cymbidiums, natives and exotics happily sit side by side

Healthy plants as far as the eye can see

The plants spark much discussion between members and visitors

Members also displayed skill in their floral art arrangements

Refreshments were available for those who needed to recharge their batteries

Sales plants were tempting for anyone wishing to add to their collections, or start a new one
