Awards Granted by Houston Judging Center in February 2025

By Randy Johnson

We had a great time at judging on Saturday, February 15. Twelve plants were submitted for judging. Three awards were given. Judy Kimball’s well-grown Rl. Aristocrat was awarded an HCC 79. John Christy’s Paph. Jennifer Reinoso received an HCC 76. Brent Arnspiger’s Paph. Emma Decker received an AM 80.

If you have a nice-looking orchid, bring it to judging at the church on the 3rd Saturday of the month by 11:00am. You just might get an award.

Our next meeting will be on March 15, 2025. Hope to see you there.
