It was a last minute thing, but last weekend we lent the Orchid Society of the Ozarks 14 plants to put into their exhibit at the AOS judged Springfield Missourri orchid show. Of our fourteen plants, seven came away with ribbons (1 First Place, 4 Seconds, and 2 Third Place), and two of our Paphs. got pulled for AOS judging. One of those got awarded the AOS Highly Commended Certificate (HCC) with 77 points! It was quite a weekend, and I have to say, a completely unexpected piece of success. The OSO's entire exhibit took a First Place ribbon overall.

I just wanted to thank Tom and Barbara Larkin, as well as Barbara Chance, for driving all the way out here to collect some plants for the exhibit, and for doing such an awesome job with the display. You folks are the best.....
