The
Orchid Clubs from around the South Coast and South West of NSW meet
every two years to stage a South and West Regional Orchid Show.
Clubs from Albury -Wodonga, Wagga Wagga, Canberra, Shoalhaven, Bateman's
Bay, Eurobodalla and Sapphire Coast compete for the Champion Club
display as well as for individual honours.
Clubs take turn at hosting the show with Wagga Wagga hosting in
2009 and Shoalhaven 2011.
Typically around 800 plants are presented with most included in
displays that reflect the theme chosen for the show. This years
theme of Orchid Heaven 007 provided the opportunity for some spectacular
heavenly displays.
In
summing up the Show Chief Judge Denis Diem rated it along with National
and International Shows that he has judged at.
