AGROFEST 2012 PARIT BUNTAR PERAK

2012-01-25T10:00:00.000-08:00

Agrofest 2011 Parit Buntar

12th - 16th January 2012

Sungai Kerian Waterfront

Perak

Agrofest, an annual event to celebrate farmer's day in Perak, normally held in Sungai Siput (Infotec) and originally earmarked to be held at the end of last year was cancelled. Early January this year, it was announced that it will be held instead at a sleepy town in Parit Buntar, along the idyllic meanders of Sungai Kerian.

The town, as if rejuvenated, woke up and on 12th January 2012, scores of cars and buses ferrying people from nearby towns created traffic jams and the whole town became the center of attraction.

Our orchid show was organised within days and we only informed our members less than 10 days before the show commenced. Our committee was worried that we may not have enough orchids for the show.

On 12th morning, our expectations changed and as usual this show was well supported with nearly 300 plants entered by 28 participants. Not only were there many plants but also most of them were show plants of high quality. Please do not believe what we say but visit our Perak Orchid Society facebook to view all the orchid photographs taken by Mr. Robert Ang and form your own opinion.

The Cattleya, Phalaenopsis and Paphiopedilum sections were very strongly supported and there were so many plants that some have to be placed on the floor.

Two groups of judges led by Miss Peggy Tan and Mr. Leong Tuck Lock had a hard time voting for the winning plants.

11 sections with 50 classes were opened and Best Plant of the Show went to Mr. Hew Fook Yong with his entry of Cyc. Anne-Kathrin Berger x cooperii, a healthy plant with 2 spikes bearing more than 15 flowers each. According to him, this plant originally had 3 spikes and he had to cut of one as it had overbloomed.

The Best Runner-Up Plant, a Bulb. aff. lepidium, with more than 50 flowers was entered by Mr. Johnny Neoh.

The Best Species went to Mr. Sin Chan Wah from Cameron Highlands with his entry of Den. finesterae.

We were honored to have Miss Peggy Tan, President of OSSEA (Orchid Society of South East Asia) who came all the way from Singapore especially to be our international judge. In the photograph she is seen with Mr Choe Kim Fah (President of the Perlis Orchid Society) and Mr. Low Siam Leng (President of FOMOS Penang) and Mr. Robert Ang from Perak Orchid Society.

One very interesting event was this fisherman in his boat fishing for prawns in the sluggish Sungai Kerian. As we were watching him fish, he was conversely watching the orchid show. He started his outboard motor and came ashore, walked up to our sales booth and in 5 minutes bought 3 pots of catesetum. Before you can say Jack Robinson, he was back in his boat and speeding away back to his home in Kedah. just across the river to safeguard his precious cargo from the searing sun.

We had so many visitors to our show. I think more than 100 thousand people visited Agrofest and our vendors have had a field day selling almost all their stocks. Many from the nearby university (USM) also came to visit our show and in particular, Mr Saber M A Alkasseh from Palestine who showed great interest in orchids and asked many questions regarding the cultivation of orchids and whether it can be grown in their own country.
Show Manager: Handan Osman

Chief Judge: Leong Tuck Lock

A word of thanks to all the committee members, judges and friends who have in one way or another worked so hard to make this show a great success.

We will have our monthly show at the Island between Ipoh Perade and DBI on the 3rd week of Febuary.

Other shows earmarked to be held in conjuction with Visit Perak Year, are as follow:

1st Perak International Orchid Fiesta Batu Gajah

2011-11-28T05:16:00.000-08:00

1st Perak International Orchid Fiesta Batu Gajah

Organisers: Tourism Perak, Persatuan Peminat Anggerek, Persatuan Orchid Perak (Perak Orchid Society)

Venue: Arena Square (Taman TaseK) Batu Gajah

Date : 25 November to 2 December 2011

The show was well supported by members from Perak Orchid Society and also from the other orchid societies around the region.
A total of 336 plants were entered for the show . All 40 classes were represented by very high quality and showy exhibits. In some classes, there were even more than 20 entries in each class.
Best Plant of the Show went to Mr. Liew Chee Seng with his evergreen Dendrobium Frosty Dawn, a showy plant with more than 50 flowers. This plant has won many top prizes in other orchid shows in the past.

Mr. Liew Chee Seng, indeed POS best grower, also won the Runner Up Plant with his entry of Arundina graminifolia, another showy plant with more than 100 flowers. This plant commonly known as the bamboo orchid, can be found extensively along the highways and especially along the roads leading up to Cameron Highlands. However, this variety is a hybrid of the dwarf variety.

Best Species went to Mr. Sit Tai Choy with his entry of Rhy. retusa, another very showy plant with 8 spikes. As retusa normally blooms at the end of the year, there were half a dozen retusa at the show and the judges picked this particular plant because of the number of spikes.

The show was opened by Yang Bahagia Dato' Haji Jamry bin Haji Sury, District Officer of Batu Gajah on 26th Novemberr 2011 at 6p.m. After the short opening ceremony, our President, Dato' Dr. Majumder together with some of our committee members, showed Dato all the plants that were on exhibition. A phalaenopis was then presented to Dato' Jamry in appreciation of his support for our Society.

As this was supposed to be an International Show, we invited many judges from around the Asian region to participate in our show but due to unforseen circumstances, quite a number of judges could not make it to our show. The Indonesian could not get their exit permits in time and the Thais had to return to their farms immediately after WOC to check on the flood situation in their country.

Judges are as follows:

1 I-Sheng Chen (Taiwan)

2 Long-Huei Chen (Taiwan)

3 Thomas Chow (Singapore)

4 Dato' Dr Fonseka (OSM)

POS World Orchid Conference 2011 (Singapore) Trip

2011-11-20T07:13:00.000-08:00

PERAK ORCHID SOCIETY

Trip to Singapore to attend the 20th World Orchid Conference

A total of 21 members from POS,TOS and FOMOS under the tour guidance of Robert Ang attended the 20th World Orchid Conference 2011.

POS chartered a bus AGN9577 through U Vacation Travel and Tours and we started our journey on the evening of 13 November 2011 at 11p.m.

Many came from as far as Kuala Lumpur, Cameron Highlands, Penang, and Taiping to meet in Ipoh and make the trip to Singapore together. The members that formed this group are:

Mr. Teh Thian Lai (TOS), Mr. Hooi Kum Woh (TOS), Mr. Francis Chiam (POS), Mr. Tan Yeow Kim (FOMOS), Mr. & Mrs. Hon Chim Yim and friends (POS), Mr. Raymond Chan (POS), Mr. Lim Cheen Nyon (POS), Mr. Hew Fook Yoong (POS), Mr. & Mrs. Sin Chan Wah (POS), Mr. Ng Lee Sin (POS), Mr. & Mrs. Tan Eng Tiek & family (POS), Mrs. Robert Ang (POS), Mdm Chan Choy Foong and Mdm Goh Lui Ing .

The bus left our pickup point at Hotel Excelsior punctually at 11.00 p.m and all of us were in exuberant mood.
A few stop were made along the way and as we were approaching Johor Baru, we discovered an invisible man in our midst. Check out this photo on the left and see if you can recognise who our invisible man is.

In Johor Baru after the toll, we stopped at the last watering hole to wash up and take our baths and had hearty breakfasts of nasi lemak, mee goreng and fried chicken.

All of us were already fresh, despite the long night in the bus and were prepared for the programs in the itinerary for the day. As we can only check in at 12 noon were decided to go to the WOC the next day and spend the day visiting farms.

The first farm we visited was Neo Cheng Soon farm owned by Mr. Neo Tuan Hong in Lim Chu Kang Lane. The farm land area is about 1 hectar with mostly dendrobium spatulata type. Hong as he is affectionately known, produces about the best cane type dendrobium in Singapore and he won one of the top prizes with his Den. lasianthera in the World Orchid Conference. A few of our members bought a few show quality plants from him.

Next we visited Song Orchids owned by Mr. Phua Gik Song in Choa Chu Kang Road. Ah Song as he is known by, grows hobby plants and our group bought some plants from him.
After about 1 hour in his place, we proceeded to our hotel in Fragrance Ruby, Geylang to check in and freshen up before going for lunch around the corner.

After lunch, we visited the orchid garden located in the Singapore Botanical Garden. Rows and rows of orchids, mostly cut flower varieties were planted neatly and it is obvious that everything was done for the multitude of foreign visitors coming to the garden after visiting WOC .

Most interesting were the cool house and the orchids registered to dignatories visiting Singapore. Halfway through the garden it started to rain cats and dogs and some reached the bus slightly damp whilst others sat it out at the garden waiting for the rain to stop.

Our next venue was Sentosa Island but as it was raining and were running late, we cancelled this trip and instead headed for Vivo City one of the larger shopping malls in Singapore. We walked around for a while and had dinner at the Food Republic, a food court serving a host of local delicacies. This shopping center is located at the mainland side of Sentosa and there was a roof top garden complete with coconut trees and a shallow pool that looks like a lake. From this place, a breath taking view of Sentosa Island can be seen. A sky train runs from Vivo City around Sentosa. Mr. and Mrs. Tan and their two children had a fantastic time riding on the train around Sentosa Island.

The next morning 15th. November 2011, after a good breakfast of roti canai, which according to Raymong Chan, is the best he has eaten so far, we proceeded to the Marina Bay Sands Convention & Expo Center - the site of the World Orchid Convention 2011 in Singapore.

Our tickets, bought at a discount, was delivered to us outside the exhibition hall by Miss Geok Bee.

We spent almost the whole day in the hall admiring the orchids from all over the world, taking photographs and best of all, buying plants from the vendors from all over the world. A few of our members went overboard and bought so many orchids that they had to ask one of our member vendors from Malaysia to take it back for them.

This year, as like previous years, all exhibits entered for judging were grouped into a landscaped island together with hundreds of plants. The effect is fantastic but for most of us not used to this kind of format, the individual plants that won remained hidden amongst the other plants. It is a wonder how the judges could sort out the winners without mising a few.

Top prizes are as follows:

National Parks Board, Singapore with Vanda lamellata

Orchis Floriculture Inc, Taiwan

with Cycnodes Taiwan Gold 'Orchis'

Neo Cheng Soon Farm, Singapore

with Dendrobium lasienthera

Eric Yang Orchid Foundation

with Paphiopedilum Du Motier 'Victoria Village'

For the Landscape Section

The Orchiid Society of Papua New Guinea PGN and

Chaiwathana Orchid Garden Co Ltd

Here at the exhibition, alike the Botanical Garden, there is also a section depicting orchids registered in honour of dignitaries visiting Singapore. It is customary for any dignitary visiting Singapore to have an orchid registered in thier name by the National Parks Board.

Apart from landscapes, there were also floral arrangments with special lightings rendering the whole exhibition floor into a sight not to be forgotten.

Our congratulations to all who have put their heart and soul into this project, making it to be about the best in all the conventions so far.

We left Singapore with a heavy heart the next day wondering why the days passed so quickly.
On our way back we visited Genting Orchids before heading home.

It was a good trip and everyone enjoyed themselves and we hope that we can make another trip in June next year for the official opening of the Garden By The Bay in Singapore.

A few of the photographs taken is reproduced below. For the rest of the photographs, please go to our Perak Orchid Society's facebook page.

Singapore will host the 20th World Orchid Conference from 13th to 20th November 2011 at the Marina Bay Sands Expo and Covention Center.

As an orchid enthusiast, it is an opportunity that must not be missed and Perak Orchid Society has organised a 3 day 2 night trip to coincide with the conference.

The chartered bus can hold 30 persons and accommodations will be either at Fragrance Hotel or Hotel 81, the latter is slightly more expensive. As this is a peak period for hotels, we need to book earlier and therefore we ask all members and friends who are interested to register with us so that final arrangements can be made.

The tentative dates will be 14th night to 16th November 2011.

Apart from trips visiting the WOC at the Marina Bay Sands Expo and convention Center, we will try and visit some of the farms in Singapore and Johor Bahru.

The cost of the return trip and hotel accommodation will be RM425 per person on a twin sharing basis for a group with a minimum of 20 persons. If more than 20 persons register, then the price will be adjusted accordingly. The cost of ticket to the WOC is about SGD20 per person (senior citizens are entitled to a discount) but we will try to negotiate for a group discount.

No meals will be provided but the bus will bring us to some of the larger food courts serving some of Singapore's best hawker food

We are working on the itinerary and will have it posted when its ready.

As discussed in our last committee meeting regarding training of members, especially for the younger generation, to become judges we have included many inexperienced members in our judging team to give them first hand experience in judging.
The chief judge will explain in detail what to look for in every section before judging and voting and in this manner hands-on experience can be an invaluable tool to mould our future judges into first class judges.

Our show drew a lot of visitors and we had a couple from New Zealand, Christina and Raymond Green, who were very impressed with the show. They have been in Ipoh for more than a week and promised to return for another visit.

The show was well supported even though there was another show running concurrently in Penang.

As usual our member-artist, Mdm Oh Chow Moy was there putting on paper a beautiful Bulb. annandallei. In fact her presence helped to draw in the crowd and turned the whole show into a carnival mood.

As one of our aims in holding our monthly orchid show is to promote Ipoh to tourist and people outside Perak to visit our city, we have a couple from England on holiday here and they were amazed with the beauty of the orchids displayed.

Perak Orchid Society Orchid Nite '10 show

2010-11-05T07:58:00.000-07:00

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.

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

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.

In her speech, she expressed her whole support for the orchid industry for Perak and pledged another RM5000 for year 2010.
Our society would like to take this opportunity to thank YB Dato' Hamidah Osman for this amount as this will help us to finance our monthly shows which in turn will generate more interest in reviving the orchid industry in Perak.

A proposal to turn an exisitng park in Gunong Rapat (front of Hillcity Hotel) to an orchid garden was also presented by our President Dato' Dr. Majumder to YB . This is a very ambitious project by our Society to create a garden with the likes of orchid garden in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. This project will not only boost the local orchid industry but also bring in more tourist both locally and from abroad.

The Orchid Show attracted 317 plants from Perak, Kedah, Penang Selangor and Johor. Best Plant of the Show, Den Hiroshi Tokunaga went to Mr. Liew Chee Seng and Ruuner Up Best Plant went to Mr. Theow Kim Fook with his Bulbophyllum claptonense.

Venue : Island between Parkson Grand and DBI building

This month's show attracted 164 entries 'from our members,out of which 65 plants were from the Phalaenopsis novelty class.

Best runner-up went to Gramathophyllum speciosum "Bertam Valley", a plant entered by a new member, Mr. Poh Soon Kok introduced by Mr. Chan Chee Meng. This showy plant with two long spikes featuring more than 30 dark flowers each is quite unusual.

The show was well supported with many members entering plants for the first time.

Our Society being the oldest in Malaysia, has been very active since the new committe took over less than a year ago. We are proud to say that we are the only society in Malaysia that holds a show each month on the third week.

Perak Orchid Society Show - 21 March 2010

This month's show attracted only 113 plants. This was because Penang was holding a big show from 13th. to 21st. of this month and a few of our members supported their show as the prize money was more than ours. Although there was a decrease in quantity of show plants, the quality was not compromised.

Best Plant of the Show went to Eria atrovenusa, a plant submitted by our specie enthuasist, Raymond Chan. This very showy plant with more than 10 spikes was chosen first place by more than 10 members of the Society who were present and chosen especially to nominate the Best and runner up plant. The runner up was Epi stamfordianum, another showy specie entered by Cha Chuan Tuck.

Chief Judge was Mr Hew Fook Yoong. Mr Michael Wong, Low Kok Keong, Raymond Lee and Lim Ou Chai were the panel of judges for the day.

There were many enthusiasts and non-enthusiasts who visited our show. Mr Trimbak from India, on a visit to Ipoh, was presently surprised at the beauty of the orchids grown here. He paused and had a chat with our President, Dato' Dr. Majumder.

During the show, two new members signed up and joined our society. They are Mr. Kok Kian Seng and Mr. Wong Man Loong, all new comers to the orchid game. We welcome them and hope they will contribute to make POS the best in Malaysia.

2009-12-06T05:36:00.000-08:00

Clearwater Floral Fest 2009 31 Oct – 2 Nov, 2009.

The show lived up to its reputation as one of the best in Perak, with a wide range of old favorites and younger breeds, plus the usual good selection of cool growing types from Cameron Highlands. Especially striking are the extensive collections of Phal. violaceas and bellinas for which this part of Perak was known for. The Vandas section was also very impressive followed by the Cattleyas and Dendrobiums (species).

The sales area did brisk business and the three vendors , Ow a local, Matt from England living in Cameron Highlands, and Ivan Pottillo from Equador, have a virtue monopoly over the weekend crowds – now used to visiting this golf resort for its many varied activities – enjoyed themselves admiring the plants and visiting the animals in the mini-zoo. The was also an art exhibition and a booth was allocated to The Heritage Society of Ipoh.

Mr. Sin Chan Wah walked away with two top prizes – Blc. Keowee for Best Plant of Show and Bulb annandalei for Best Plant Runner-up. Best Species was awarded to a spectacular Dimorphorchis lowii grown by Tan Eng Tiek. This plant also bagged the Best Species award during the Perak Orchid Society Orchid Nite a week before. Best Species runner-up went to Cha Chuan Tuck for an impressive Rhynchostylis retusa.

The Show was memorable for its relatively large number of overseas visitors – as many as 19 orchid enthusiasts from Taiwan came to judge and enjoy the show. For many of them, this was their first trip to Malaysia, not to mention their first experience with a local orchid show. The group was led by a long time friend of Perak Orchid Society, Chen Long-Huei of Jumbo Orchids and his fellow grower Huang Wen Roong of Jia Ho Orchids Nursery and later also took the opportunity to travel to other states to visit more nurseries.

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.
