BENCHED WINNERS JUNE 2018
Judges choice winners and first place winners for every category

Judges First Choice

Ddc. convallariaeforme var. convallariaeforme Grower: S. Addison

Ddc. convallariaeforme var. convallariaeforme Grower: S. Addison

Judges had no hesitation in nominating this plant as their pick for the best of all entered on the benches. It displayed well shaped fresh flowers on racemes around the entire plant. The delightful twists of the flowers on the stems makes this a very desirable one.

Judges Second Choice

Den. superbiens  Grower: R. Mollee

Den. superbiens  Grower: R. Mollee

This was a very good example of a quality Australian native hybrid. The shape was excellent showing very wide segments and the deep colour made it a very eye catching plant.

Judges Third Choice

Colm. Wildcat  Grower: J. Lamont

Colm. Wildcat  Grower: J. Lamont

A nicely presented plant with a good display of well shaped flowers. The attractive point of note was the labellums which did not display the usual twists which this hybrid tends to have.

Member’s Choice

Rsc. Taiwan Ruby 'Sun #6'  Grower: R. Kerr

Rsc. Taiwan Ruby ‘Sun #6’  Grower: R. Kerr

The members made this one their choice from all the benched plants . No doubt the clear bright yellow petals and sepals with the bright contrasting red labellum was the attraction to this plant.
