16 January 2011 Orchid Show
The first show of the year attracted 192 entries with some very showy exhibits. The phalaenopsis novelty section was very well supported with an unusually large entry of P. bellina.
The Best Plant of the Show went to Mr. Liew Lip Yaw with his entry of Bulb. plumatum.
The Runner-up Best Plant was won by Mr. Cha Chuan Tuck with his entry of Epi. stamfordianum
Judges were
Leong Tuck Lock
Low Kok Keong
Lim Chin Nyon
Theow Kim Fook
Michael Wong.
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. Photo below showed them with POS members, Leong Tuck Lock and Wong Kai Meng.
