Taiping Orchid Society Show

TAIPING SENTRAL ORCHID SHOW 2009


Date: 21st November to 29th November 2009

A total of 408 plants were entered for the show. Most of the sections showed plants with blooms of outstanding quality.
Best Plant of the show was entered by Mr. Sin Chan Wah from Cameron Highlands. His plant, Dendrobium glomeratum (syn sulawesiense) easily beat more than ten plants nominated by the judges.


The Reserved Best Plant was Dendrobium D'Bush Pansy entered by Mr. Liew Chee Seng from Ipoh. This very showy plant was chosen for its good arragement and the length of its spike.


The Best Specie prize went to Phalaenopsis cornu cervi 'Alba' entered by Mr. Tan Tien Lai from Taiping.
Generally, the show was well supported. The only drawback was the size of the show space which was too congested. Anyway, a job well done and a pat on the back for the organisers of the show.
