Perak Orchid Society Orchid Nite '10 show

PERAK ORCHID SOCIETY


ORCHID NITE 2010 SHOW

This annual affair, held on 3rd. to 7th. of November 2010 was officially opened on 3rd. of November by Councillor Kok Pak Foo, representing Dr Mah who was unable to attend. In his speech he expressed the state's support of the orchid industry in Perak and pledged RM2000 to our Society on behalf of Dr. Mah.


Our President, Dato Dr. Majumder then gave Mr. Kok a Phalaenopsis as a token of our appreciation.



The show was well attended and 330 exhibits of outstanding quality were entered. Entries from as far as Penang, Taiping, Kuala Lumpur and Johore were on display. Out of 40 classes offered, 37 classes were taken up and prizes of RM50, RM30 and RM20 were given to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd of each class respectively. Best in Show (RM300) was won by Mr. Robert Ang of Eucharist Orchids Nursery and Laboratory with his entry of Ctsm. Penang x Ctsm. pileatum.











The Best Runner Up (RM200) went to Mdm. Lim Mui Hua, with her entry of Phaph. rothschildiana. The contest for the Best and Runner up was a closely fought one. The judges comprising of 70 percent members from other societies had a hard time in the selection. The decision was split in the middle - a draw - and the Show Manager had to give his castng vote to determine the winner.









Best Species (RM200) went to Mr. Foong Seong Soh, with his Bulbophyllum viresciens, a specie endemic to Malaysia.






































The love of orchids is not confined mainly to the gardens of the enthusiasts and the show competition but is also expressed on canvas by one of our members Madam Oh Chow Moy, a self taught artist. She comes daily to the show to paint orchids which mesmerised surrounding observers with the freshness of her painting. She would ask our committee members for the name of the orchids she painted so as to name it accordingly. She even kindly sponsored one of her paintings for auction during our Orchid Nite Dinner which raised RM100 for the society.

The Singapore Garden Festival

The Singapore Garden Festival
I was at the Singapore Garden Festival, the final run before the World Orchid Conference in 2011. This show was held from 15th. to 22nd. July 2010 at Suntec International Convention & Exhibition Centre.
The floral and orchid display, and landscape designs, were amazing. The orchids were displayed in beautifully designed landscape, well blended with a theme. On the sixth floor, the whole area was transformed into a fantasy land with landscape and garden designs fit for a King. Trees 20 feet tall were brought in to form a secondary jungle complete with birds and insect sounds.

Encyclia alata an entry from Song Orchids won the Grand.Champion

I salute all the members of OSSEA for a job well done.

Dato' Hamidah toured the show with some officials and commented that she was very pleased with how the show was organised and thank all the members who have worked so hard to make it a success. In her closing speech, she confirmed that she will work seriously with POS President, Dato' Dr. Majumder to make our proposal of an orchid garden on a 6 acre land a reality. This garden will not only be a tourist attraction but also will promote the orchid industry in Perak.
The highlight of the event was the presentation of a new hybrid, Den . Muhyuddin Yassin named after the Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Hj Mohd Yassin by the Vice President of Perak Orchid Society, Mr. Robert Ang on behalf of Perak Orchid Society.






The hybrid measuring 6.5cm x 3cm with upright sepals of three twists is dark reddish brown in colour. The dark colouration comes from Den. Black Spider whose genes dominated that of the other parent plant, Den. Ong-Ang Ai Boon which has yellow flowers. All the hybrids that bloomed has no yellow colouration and almost all are dark brown to black in colour. This hybrid is originated by Robert Ang.
This event attracted more than 300 stalls selling agro and related products and Dato' Hamida said that over two hundred thousand people came to grace the show.

A fantastic show and all thanks should go to all who have helped in any way to make this a success.
Special thanks goes to all the exhibitors who brought so many plants many of which are best plants in their own rights. To mention a few, Den. Lime Frost, Den. Hiroshi Tokunaga, Den . Frosty Dawn, and many miniature dendrobiums and phalaenopsis are champions in their own right.

POS June Monthly Show

Perak Orchid Society Monthly Orchid Show

20 June 2010





This month's show started at a slow pace and at closing time only a total of 85 plants were entered for the show. Best Plant of the Show, a Vanda Kasem's Delight x Blitz's Heart Throb was entered by veteran grower, Mr Lee Tat Kuan.



Best Runner Up, was won by Mr Johnny Loh, with his Brs Summer Dreamer

This month's show was overshadowed by the Shah Alam Orchid Show and as their prize money was higher, many of our members sent their plants to Selangor. However, this apparent loss was compensated by one of our members, Mr. Liew Chee Seng winning both the coveted Best Plant of the Show with his Dendrobium Hiroshi Takunaga and also the Best Species with his Phalaenopsis amboinensis. This clearly indicates the high standard of plants grown by our members
