South Coast Orchid Society

Exactly when "Orchid Digest Judging" began is subject to some discussion. Although a number of awards are mentioned in Orchid Digest in the 1940's, systematic judging based on a well-developed "objective" point system was first applied at an Orchid Digest Corporation event in October, 1952, at the First Western Orchid Congress, held in Oakland, CA. The "Flower Show" portion of the Congress was held October 24-26 in the lobby of the Anglo-California National Bank. After describing the exhibit classes in the show, Ernest Hetherington (Orchid Digest 16(5):206 (September-October, 1952)) explains the judging system: "Entirely separate from any special entry or ownership, the Judging Committee of the show selected a number of the most outstanding plants for certificate awards. These were scored using the judging standards of the Southern California Orchid Society." The "certificate awards" from this show were later given sequence numbers, starting with ODC Award Number 1, a Silver Certificate for an Odontoglossum grande specimen (no cultivar name was recorded), exhibited by Dr. and Mrs. Philip Karleen, which scored 86.0 points. However, it is clear that the same standards had been used for several years by the "Southern California Orchid Society", now known as Orchid Society of Southern California or OSSC. In fact, the records of OSSC place the first use of this system in September, 1949, OSSC Award Number 1, a Bronze Certificate for Cattleya Tethys 'Orme', exhibited by J. Henry Orme, which scored 80.0 points, and that is the starting point we chose for our analysis.

The Second Western Orchid Congress took place in Hollywood, CA in February, 1953. The show report (Orchid Digest 17(2):55-63 (March-April, 1953)), again written by Ernest Hetherington, effectively repeats the statement about the origin of the ODC judging system: "Following is a listing of Certificates of Award issued by The Orchid Digest Corporation to plants of special merit as judged by the newly adopted Orchid Digest Corporation judging standards which are identical with the judging standards of the Orchid Society of Southern California, Inc."

The original point system that was adopted by Orchid Digest Corporation in 1952 had thus been developed by the Orchid Society of Southern California. Scores from at least three qualified judges were to be averaged. Point scores of at least 75 and less than 82 were considered "Bronze Awards" or "Bronze Certificates". Scores of at least 82 and less than 90 were "Silver Awards" or "Silver Certificates". Scores of 90 and above were "Gold Awards" or "Gold Certificates".

These point score ranges differ from the modern standard in three ways: First, the cutoff point between "Bronze" and "Silver" was changed at some point to 80 points. Second, the terminology has changed: "Bronze" was eventually replaced by the "Highly Commended Certificate" or HCC, "Silver" by the "Award of Merit" or AM, and "Gold" by the "First Class Certificate" of FCC. Third, the modern system rounds the averaged score to the nearest whole number, although the unrounded score still needs to be at least 75.0. Thus, a score of 79.5, rounded to 80, qualifies today as an AM award. For the change in terminology ("Bronze" to HCC, etc.) and the change for the cutoff point, from the old 82 points to the new value of 80 points, the changes can be spotted in the OSSC newsletters and published award records in Orchid Digest, beginning with March, 1956 judging. The introduction of rounded scores has not been noted in the ODC judging records.

When Orchid Digest Corporation published the official list of ODC awards in 1965, the first two of these changes were silently incorporated, retroactively, so that the old "Bronze Certificate" awards with scores over 80 points were transformed without comment into AM/ODC awards.

In effect, then, judging based on the point system developed by OSSC dates back to September, 1949. We found no record of any changes that would cause judging at any ODC affiliate society to differ, and we are therefore tempted to interpret the terse statement in the March-April, 1957 issue of Orchid Digest (21(2):65, "Highlights—Orchid Digest Corporation Meeting—Robert Jones") very broadly: "It was provided that the Orchid Society of Southern California, Inc., and the South Coast Orchid Society judging be accepted the same as Orchid Digest Corporation judging and award winners be published in the Orchid Digest. The publication of photos of award flowers to be left to the discretion of the Editor." Absent from this statement is any indication of a temporal context; it could mean "from this point forward", or it could be an absolute statement, to the effect that all OSSC and SCOS awards, regardless of when they were made, are to be regarded on equal footing with "Orchid Digest Corporation" awards. As far as we know, this statement was never revised or clarified. In our opinion, then, ODC, OSSC, and SCOS awards are equivalent; it is a distinction without a difference.

In spite of this history, here reported directly from the pages of Orchid Digest, some groups of awards from OSSC and SCOS were published in Orchid Digest and/or given ODC award numbers, while others were not, both before and after the decision at the Directors' Meeting in 1952. At some points along the way, awards from OSSC and SCOS that were published in Orchid Digest were sometimes marked with an asterisk and a footnote that their judging programs were "independent" (in one case, the asterisk is there, but the footnote was omitted!). No records have been found that would enlighten us as to the reasoning behind these varying treatments of awards from OSSC and SCOS from one issue to the next. Was it simply an inconsistent application of clear principles and decisions? Or was the operation and status of the judging system at that time uncertain and unresolved?

Since the OSSC awards from at least 1949 were made with the same standards used by ODC beginning in October, 1952, and by SCOS beginning in December, 1954, we list all the known awards from these organizations, right up to the end of ODC judging in December, 1967, noting the gaps and problems that have been detected along the way. There is hope for filling in some of the gaps, as there is a great mass of archival material that has been deposited by individual orchidists, commercial growers, and clubs at the Huntington Botanical Center that has never been inventoried in any detail.

(Missing Award?) OSSC Award Number 132 was not found in the OSSC awards list. It should have been from either the September or October, 1952 OSSC awards, but the newsletters that would have reported the awards for those months have not been found. The award might have been for a specimen of Cymbidium erythrostylum that received a CBM/AOS 89 points, AOS Award Number 19520043, on October 13, 1952 at the OSSC meeting, exhibited by Lambert E. Day, reported in the Register of Awards 100 and in the AOS Bulletin 22(3):203 (March, 1953). We suggest this possibility on the theory that the OSSC judging form might not have had a provision for a "Certificate of Botanical Merit" at this period. However, we have no information that AOS judging had been scheduled for either the September or October, 1952 OSSC meetings, and if the CBM award is from the October meeting, why Blc. Nanette Alba 'Mariette Ferrari' did not also receive an AOS award.

Odontoglossum crispum 'Ashcroft' AM/AOS, points not reported, exhibited by Ashcroft Orchid Nursery, Seattle, WA. Not published in the OSSC awards list, and therefore lacking an OSSC award number, but it appears in the OSSC newsletter, separately from the OSSC awards for this month, indicating it was awarded AM/AOS in separate AOS judging at the OSSC meeting. AOS records show AM/AOS 83 points, AOS Award Number 19530001, published in Register of Awards 102, and in the AOS Bulletin 22(5):364 (May, 1953) with black-and-white photo. This is the first instance of an AOS award without a corresponding OSSC or ODC award from the OSSC judging sessions, where there is clear documentation in OSSC sources. It is certainly possible that individual plants or flowers were submitted for AOS judging only (on those occasions where AOS judging occurred at this site), but it is also possible that in some cases there was also an OSSC or ODC award for the same plant that was omitted from the lists in error.

February 26, 1953, 2^nd Western Orchid Congress, Hollywood, CA:

[The report of the awards for this show notes that the show used the "newly adopted Orchid Digest Corporation judging standards which are identical with the judging standards of the Orchid Society of Southern California, Inc." Exactly how and when these standards were developed by OSSC and adopted by ODC needs to be documented; however, it is clear from this statement that there should be no difference between "ODC" and "OSSC" judging at this time. See Orchid Digest 17(2):62 (March, 1953).]

Cymbidium Jungfrau 'Snow Queen' AM/ODC 80.8 points, exhibited by Fred A. Stewart, Inc. ODC Award Number 14. Published in ODC Awards List, Orchid Digest 17(2):63 (March, 1953), and 17(3):101 (May, 1953) with black-and-white photo. While we show the award as AM/ODC, exactly as reported in the ODC Awards List, the original reports show a "Bronze" award with 80.8 points, even though, from all reports of the standards at that time, we would have expected that all scores of 80 or higher and less than 90 should have received a "Silver" award. The same anomaly, "Bronze" where a "Silver" would be expected, is found several times in the records of the OSSC awards, too often to be explained as simple clerical errors. The solution is found in a series of articles about OSSC history in the OSSC Review: the cutoff point for the "Silver" award was originally 82 points rather than 80. The fact that the official awards list converted these cases to AM/ODC provides the needed guidance for how to interpret similar cases found in OSSC records. One known difference with later (AOS) standards is that the point score was not to be rounded to determine the final award category; a final score of 79.5 was still a "Bronze" or "HCC" award, while today it would be rounded to obtain a final (rounded) score of 80 points, and would receive an AM/AOS award.

Cypripedium Woodburn × Sherrington (no cultivar named) [B/OSSC 80.5 points?], exhibited by Fred A. Stewart, Inc. OSSC newsletter lists this award without a number, in the list of AOS awards for January 11, 1954, but without an obvious counterpart in the list of OSSC awards for the same date; no such hybrid has been registered. However, we think the parentage was reported incorrectly, and this plant was actually the hybrid Bell Ringer 'Brocade', parentage Woodburn × Chardmoore, which received AM/AOS 80 points at the same judging session, exhibited by Fred A. Stewart, Inc., AOS Award Number 19540002, published in Register of Awards 119, and in AOS Bulletin 23(5):333 (May, 1954) with black and white photo.

Cypripedium London Wall 'Golden Crown' B/OSSC 78.1 points, exhibited by Robert Casamajor. Lacks ODC Award Number. OSSC Award Number 211. Published in the March, 1954 OSSC newsletter and the OSSC awards list. Note: The March, 1954 OSSC newsletter does not mention any AOS judging results. This award is similar or possibly even identical to the award that turned up in the AOS Bulletin 25(6):421 (June, 1956) and in the Register of Awards, AM/AOS 82 points, AOS Award Number 19560007, from AOS judging at the OSSC meeting of February 13, 1956. However, the March, 1956 OSSC newsletter, which reports both OSSC and AOS judging results for this meeting does not mention this award at all, nor does the supposed 1956 record appear in the OSSC awards list, which at that period included AOS awards. Was the same plant exhibited both in 1954 (OSSC award, no record of an AOS award) and 1956 (AOS judging only, not listed in OSSC newsletter)? So far, we have not found any evidence that might clarify this discrepancy. The OSSC award definitely belongs here; it is the placement of the AOS award that is in question.

April 18, 1955, Orchid Society of Southern California, Hollywood, CA:

[The normal meeting date would have been Monday, April 11, but the AOS awards list shows April 18 instead; the April, 1955 OSSC newsletter indicates that the annual banquet was to be held April 18, 1955 at the Ambassador Hotel, and that there would be AOS judging before the banquet. Since AOS judging at that time did not recognize the HCC award, it is clear that OSSC judging took place as well. The results should have been in the May, 1955 OSSC newsletter, which has not yet been recovered.]

[The following awards apparently belong with the others for the 4^th Western Orchid Congress in Long Beach, but they have not been located in the published lists of awards for that show. This is by far the largest group from the ODC awards list that cannot be matched with records published in Orchid Digest. The explanation appears to be that there was not enough space in the magazine to publish all of the awards.]

There is also a different photo, in color, in the AOS Bulletin 29(4):288 (April, 1960) as part of an article on Laeliocattleya Bonanza in a series of articles entitled "Orchid Hall of Fame". The relationship between the two photos is uncertain; if they depict the same flower, the color version must have been taken several days after the black-and-white version in order for the left petal to expand fully, but we think it is more likely that the two photos are from successive flowerings of the same plant, the black-and-white version being the true "award photo".

Cymbidium Swallow 'Challenger' B/ODC 76.7 points, exhibited by Sherman Orchid Gardens. Lacks ODC Award Number. Published in OSSC newsletter. Note: OSSC #366.

[AOS records indicate there was an award (AOS Award Number 19560007) for Cypripedium London Wall 'Golden Crown', exhibited by Robert Casamajor, at this event, AM/AOS, but that award does not appear in the March, 1956 OSSC newsletter, where the February, 1956 OSSC and AOS awards were reported. In fact, the OSSC awards list places a similar award in February, 1954 (Bronze Certificate, 78.1 points), and that is exactly where we find it in the March, 1954 OSSC newsletter. There was no AOS judging at the February, 1954 OSSC meeting. The AOS award information in OrchidPro, the Register of Awards, and the AOS Bulletin disagrees with the OSSC records. If the record in AOS sources is not the result of some improbable mixup, such that 1954 OSSC results were reported as an AOS award for 1956, the only other explanation that comes to mind is that (1) Robert Casamajor actually exhibited this plant twice at OSSC meetings, once in 1954 and again in 1956, and (2) the plant was submitted only for AOS judging in 1956 and was not considered for an OSSC award, and (3) OSSC neglected to report the 1956 award in its newsletter. The cultivar 'Golden Crown' was first awarded (BM/CSA, 79.1 points) on February 27, 1951, exhibited by Robert Casamajor. It was again exhibited by Casamajor for CSA judging on January 26, 1954 (SM/CSA, 82.5 points), and the same flowering received the February, 1954 OSSC award (Bronze, 78.1 points). The next appearance is the 1956 AOS award (AM/AOS, 82 points). CSA records reported in OrchidWiz show that the same cultivar was exhibited for CSA judging on March 27, 1969 by John W. Hanes, receiving another BM/CSA (76.7 points, and the award photo for this occasion is found in OrchidWiz, image #80583).]

March 20, 1956, Orchid Society of California, Berkeley, CA:

Cymbidium Bodmin Moor 'Sharp Park' AM/ODC 85.3 points, exhibited by Vallemar Gardens. ODC Award Number 161. Published in ODC Awards List, and black-and-white photo on the cover of Orchid Digest 20(2) (March, 1956). Note: AOS awarded this plant (AM/AOS 85 points, AOS Award Number 19560033) at Regional Monthly Judging, Berkeley. CA, on March 20, 1956 (that is, both ODC and AOS judging occurred at the same meeting of OSC), and the corresponding award photo is found in OrchidPro, matching the flower in the ODC award photo, but a different exposure taken from a different angle. Further, there is a photo of the entire flower spike in Orchid Digest 20(3):121 (May, 1956), again citing the March 20, 1956 award date.

[AOS records show an additional award at this event, Vanda Ellen Noa 'No. 2 Charlene' AM/AOS 81 points (AOS Award Number 19560034), exhibited by Nakagawa Orchid Nursery, Hilo, HI. ODC seems to have no record of this award. AOS Bulletin 25(11):788 (November, 1956) and Register of Awards Suppl. I 188 have the black-and-white award photo, and the color photo, which seems overexposed and with very poor color, has been published at least twice in the AOS Bulletin. While this is supposed to have been a very important Vanda hybrid, the award fails to indicate what color it should be: "Eleven flowers of very fine form and good color; well-balanced on stem" — and no measurements were recorded.]

May 15, 1956, Orchid Society of California, Oakland, CA?:

Cattleya Bow Bells 'Snow Fall' HCC/ODC 75 points, exhibited by Dr. Ralph Wagner. ODC Award Number 130. Published in ODC Awards List, and black-and-white photo on the frontispiece of Orchid Digest 20(4) (July, 1956).

---

Phalaenopsis Chilly Dawn 'Lake Merritt' AM/ODC 82.3 points, exhibited by Rod McLellan Co. ODC Award Number 131. Published in ODC Awards List, and black-and-white photo on the cover of Orchid Digest 20(4) (July, 1956). OrchidWiz (image #287537) has a very close match to the award photo published in Orchid Digest, a different exposure of the same flower. The version in OrchidWiz is the same photo that appears in OrchidPro (AM/AOS 82 points, AOS Award Number 19560048), although the latter image was scanned from a dusty slide, while the OrchidWiz image is much cleaner. For the ODC image, the camera seems to have been closer to the flower and slightly lower. This pattern is repeated for other pairs of ODC and AOS award photos from the sites that offered judging for both organizations: apparently using a shared photographer, each organization ended up with an equivalent award slide, but possibly from different exposures.

---

Lc. Allen A Dale 'Fire Mountain' HCC/ODC 76.3 points, exhibited by A. R. Stephenson. Lacks ODC Award Number. Published in OSSC newsletter. Note: OSSC #401. The hybrid is named after the character from the Robin Hood legend, usually written today as "Alan-a-Dale", but the earliest known mention, in a 17^th Century ballad (per Wikipedia) as "Allan-a-Dale". Occasionally, the orchid grex name is listed by people unaware of the Robin Hood reference as "Allen A. Dale", as if he was a modern person with a middle initial. The hybrid was registered in 1955 by Armacost and Royston as Lc. Allan-a-Dale, now correctly Cattleya Allan-a-Dale.

The Orchid Digest show report calls this Dendrobium Snowdrift, but the real Dendrobium Snowdrift was not registered until 1963 and has a completely different parentage. Apparently, the 1956 award was for a plant that was never registered, and was not, ultimately, called Snowdrift.

October 16, 1956, Orchid Society of California, Oakland, CA:

[A number of awards from October and November, 1956, as well as some earlier dates, were apparently never published in Orchid Digest, and we found a possible explanation in a comment by the editor, Ed Richard, in Orchid Digest 21(1):5 (January, 1957): "One new regular feature that I plan for The Digest is pictures of Orchid Digest Award Winners. In the October and November judging there were so many fine flowers winning awards that I was forced to feature only Silver Award winners..." It is likely this problem also explains the long list of missing awards from the 4^th Western Orchid Congress.]

Cypripedium Good News 'First Edition' HCC/ODC 77.8 points, exhibited by Dr. and Mrs. Ralph Wagner. ODC Award Number 165.

November 20, 1956, Orchid Society of California, Oakland, CA:

Lc. Quadroon 'Darky' AM/ODC 84 points, exhibited by Nancy Ann Abbott. ODC Award Number 172. Published in ODC Awards List, and in Orchid Digest 21(1):17 (January, 1957) with black-and-white photo on p. 14, which was mislabeled, but corrected in the next issue of Orchid Digest. This plant also received an AM/AOS 84 points (AOS Award Number 19560084) as cultivar 'Darkie' at Oakland, November 20, 1956, to Nancy Ann Abbott, and the color photo in OrchidWiz, image #117899, attributed to William Merritt Collection, matches the black-and-white award photo published in Orchid Digest (mirror image), although the two images were taken from slightly different positions; notably, the dorsal sepal of one of the flowers in the background is missing from the ODC photo. The photo in OrchidWiz may have been intended for use by AOS, but it did not find its way into the current version of OrchidPro.

Published in ODC Awards List, and in Orchid Digest 21(1):17 (January, 1957) with black-and-white photo on p. 14. The award photo, or a different exposure of the same flower that is not quite an exact match, is also found in OrchidWiz, image #287547, and the latter image is also found in OrchidPro, as the plant received an AM/AOS 82 points (AOS Award Number 19560083) at the same judging session.

Phalaenopsis Grace Palm 'Santa Cruz' AM/ODC 81 points, exhibited by Shaffer's Tropical Gardens. ODC Award Number 193. Published in ODC Awards List, and Orchid Digest 21(2):68 (March, 1957) with black-and-white photo. A slightly different exposure, apparently of the same flower, is found in OrchidWiz, image #287550, and the latter image is also found in OrchidPro, as the plant received an AM/AOS ten days later at Oakland (AOS Award Number 19570005, see below). However, the photos are so similar, it is difficult to believe that they were not taken on the same occasion.

January 14, 1957, Orchid Society of Southern California, Hollywood, CA:

[OSSC judging was deemed "independent" at this time, see footnote in Orchid Digest 21(2):68 (March, 1957).]

Lc. Anime 'Star' HCC/ODC 78.1 points, exhibited by B. O. Bracey & Co. Lacks ODC Award Number. Published in Orchid Digest 21(2):69 (March, 1957). Note: OSSC #439.

---

Blc. Orange Glory 'Empress' AM/ODC 81.33 points, exhibited by B. O. Bracey & Co. Lacks ODC Award Number. Published in Orchid Digest 21(2):69 (March, 1957) with black-and-white photo. Note: OSSC #440. OrchidWiz has a much better version of the award photo (mirror image), attributed to the Merritt Collection, image #117722. A third version of the award photo (not a mirror image), this one definitely orange, is found in OrchidPro, as this plant received an AM/AOS 81 points (AOS Award Number 19570001) at the same judging session. How to evaluate these images? We think the contrast has been enhanced on the OrchidWiz photo, resulting in several areas where the detail is completely washed out. However, the OrchidPro image is also highly suspect, because the original description, from the OSSC newsletter for February, 1957, in which the results of judging at the January 14, 1957 meeting were reported, indicate "Three medium-sized flowers distinguished by rich lemon yellow color. Large frilled yellow lip." Noted Pasadena orchid breeder Kay Francis also grew this cultivar; a photo of her specimen also shows the color as deep yellow with a darker lip.

---

Cypripedium Winston Churchill 'Brentwood' HCC/ODC 75.9 points, exhibited by Paul Weber. Lacks ODC Award Number. Published in Orchid Digest 21(2):69 (March, 1957). Note: OSSC #441; exhibitor from OSSC newsletter.

---

[Two more awards, both AM/AOS, are reported at this event in AOS records, but they are not mentioned in the OSSC newsletter that reported the judging results, even though that report included the AM/AOS award for Blc. Orange Glory 'Empress' listed above. There is internal evidence (some apparent reflections in the background) that the AOS award photos in OrchidPro were taken on the same occasion. No explanation has been found for the failure of the OSSC newsletter and the OSSC awards list to include them. The two awards are: Lycaste skinneri 'Olympus' AM/AOS 86 points (AOS Award Number 19570002), and Lycaste skinneri 'Clare Beall' AM/AOS 85 points (AOS Award Number 19570003), both apparently cut flowers, exhibited by William E. Farrell, Bremerton, WA. The correct name of the species is now Lycaste virginalis.]

Lc. Rita Cobb 'Hillsborough' AM/ODC 80.3 points, exhibited by Nancy Ann Abbott. ODC Award Number 195. Published in ODC Awards List, and in Orchid Digest 21(2):68 (March, 1957), with black-and-white photo. OrchidWiz has a different exposure apparently showing the same flower (mirror image, and some of the background is different), image #117907, attributed to the William Merritt Collection. At the same event, this plant received an AM/AOS 80 points (AOS Award Number 19570004).

---

[At the same event, AOS records include an AM/AOS 82 points (AOS Award Number 19570005) for Phalaenopsis Grace Palm 'Santa Cruz', exhibited by Shaffer's Tropical Gardens, Capitola, CA. This cultivar was not judged by ODC on January 15, because it had already received an equivalent award ten days earlier at the Peninsula Orchid Society Show, see above. However, the photos for these two awards are so similar, it is difficult to believe they were not taken at the same judging session. The two award reports are likely correct, but it might be that the AOS award photo was actually from the ODC judging session.]

Cypripedium Glenshea 'Dorothy' HCC/ODC 78.3 points, exhibited by C. E. Wilson Jr. ODC Award Number 206. Published in ODC Awards List, Orchid Digest 21(4):173 (July, 1957).

Lc. Telegraph Hill 'Sugar' AM/ODC 80.7 points, exhibited by Mr. and Mrs. R. McRossie. ODC Award Number 213. Published in ODC Awards List, Orchid Digest 21(4):172 (July, 1957). Illustrating the same list of awards, on p. 174, there is a photo of "Lc. Telegraph Hill 'Grace' ", but that cultivar name is not among the listed awards. We think it most likely corresponds with the award listed in the text as cultivar 'Sugar', on the theory that the cultivar names of the other two Telegraph Hill cultivars awarded at the same show are clearly associated with the other exhibitor, Sanford R. Parks; one of them, 'Carrie Parks', was apparently named after his mother. Sanford's wife in the 1950 census was Dorothy. The other exhibitor, R. "McRossie", appears to be the Robert S. Macrossie (1894-1966) who lived in Salinas, CA, and whose wife on the 1940 and 1950 censuses was Grace. The very similar exposure of the same flower, in color (mirror image, the cultivar listed as 'Sugar'), is found in OrchidWiz, image #117958. At the same event, this plant, under the cultivar name 'Sugar', received an AM/AOS 81 points (AOS Award Number 19570043).

Lc. Telegraph Hill 'Sandoro' HCC/ODC 78.1 points, exhibited by Mr. and Mrs. Sanford Parks. ODC Award Number 214. Published in ODC Awards List, Orchid Digest 21(4):172 (July, 1957).

Published in ODC Awards List, Orchid Digest 21(4):172 and 174 (July, 1957) with black-and-white photo. A different exposure of the same flower (AOS judging occurred at the same show. this plant received an AM/AOS 81 points, AOS Award Number 19570036), in color, is found in OrchidWiz, image #287558.

---

Cymbidium Balkis 'Supreme' AM/ODC 80.9 points, exhibited by Herb Hager Orchids. ODC Award Number 217. Published in ODC Awards List, Orchid Digest 21(4):172 and 174 (July, 1957) with black-and-white photo. A slightly different exposure of the same flower, in color, is found in OrchidWiz, image #287559. At the same event, this plant received an AM/AOS 81 points (AOS Award Number 19570037).

---

Cymbidium Alexanderi 'Perfection' AM/ODC 80.5 points, exhibited by Dr. and Mrs. Philip Karleen. ODC Award Number 218. Published in ODC Awards List, Orchid Digest 21(4):172 (July, 1957) with black-and-white photo. When first published, the awarded plant was identified as Cymbidium Alexanderi Perfection 'Judith Karleen', with parentage Alexanderi 'Westonbirt' × Alexanderi 'Album'. The corresponding AM/AOS award, 81 points, from the same show (AOS Award Number 19570038) has an award photo, but it shows a different flower, very likely from the same spike, and calls the plant Cymbidium Alexanderi 'Judith Karleen'.

---

Cattleya Eloquence 'Covenanter' AM/ODC 81 points, exhibited by B. O. Bracey & Co. ODC Award Number 219. Published in ODC Awards List, Orchid Digest 21(4):172 and 173 (July, 1957) with black-and-white photo. At the same event, this plant received an AM/AOS 81 points (AOS Award Number 19570035).

---

Cymbidium Hemptette 'Halo' AM/ODC 80.8 points, exhibited by Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Simpson. ODC Award Number 221. Published in ODC Awards List, Orchid Digest 21(4):172 and 174 (July, 1957) with black-and-white photo. The grex name is sometimes found, incorrectly, as Hemplette, Hamptette, etc. At the same event, this plant (as Cymbidium Hamptette!) received an AM/AOS 81 points (AOS Award Number 19570039).

Phalaenopsis Grace Palm 'Monterey Bay' AM/ODC 83.1 points, exhibited by Robert Bean. ODC Award Number 225. Published in ODC Awards List, Orchid Digest 21(4):172 and 173 (July, 1957) with black-and-white photo. A much clearer color version of the same award photo (but poorly cropped, and we have no idea why only a single flower is shown) is found in OrchidWiz, image #287561, from AOS judging (AM/AOS 83 points, AOS Award Number 19570044) at the same show. The AOS award description notes six large flowers, and that "10 flowers had been removed from the spike".

---

Cypripedium Golden Diana 'Pajaro' AM/ODC 80 points, exhibited by Rod McLellan Co. ODC Award Number 226. Published in ODC Awards List, Orchid Digest 21(4):172 and 173 (July, 1957) with black-and-white photo. The cultivar name is not, directly at least, a reference to exotic birds of Latin America; it is an allusion to the venue for the show, the Pajaro Valley National Bank in Watsonville. At the same event, this plant received an AM/AOS 80 points (AOS Award Number 19570041).

---

Arguing against this position, however, is the fact that the same newsletter award lists also gives this plant an OSSC award number.

Lc. Hyperion 'Orchidhaven' HCC/ODC 76 points, exhibited by B. O. Bracey & Co. Lacks ODC Award Number. Published in OSSC newsletter. Note: OSSC #507; OSSC awards list shows cultivar as 'Orchidhurst', but the newsletter shows 'Orchidhaven'. AOS records for this group of awards show this plant received HCC/AOS 76 points (AOS Award Number 19570166). A photo of this cultivar was published in the AOS Bulletin 27(1):57 (January, 1958) in an advertisement by B. O. Bracey and Company, not indicating the award, which, of course, had not yet been officially published. This might be the award photo, but until an award slide is located, we have no way to be sure. There have been no other awards for this cultivar. The cultivar presumably originated at the Patterson and Sons nursery, Orchidhaven, in Bergenfield, NJ. A color photograph that we think may be be a different shot of the same flower appeared in Courtney T. Hackney's American Cattleyas (2004, plate G-25, source indicated as Roy Field — Roy would have had access to the award slides).

---

Cypripedium Esther (no cultivar listed) HCC/ODC 78.4 points, exhibited by Roland Howard. Lacks ODC award number. Published in Orchid Digest 22(2):75 (March, 1958). Note: This award is found in Orchid Digest (no number listed there), but is not in the ODC Awards List. Is it possible these two awards, Gigi and Esther, have been conflated in some way? This is the only award in the group that was published without parentage. The meeting summary (Orchid Digest 22(1):29 (January, 1958)) says there were 14 awards given at the judging session, but if both Gigi and Esther are included, that would make 15 awards for the session. We strongly suspect one of these is a plant that did not actually receive an award, and suspicion naturally falls on Esther, not found in the ODC awards list and the only one for which the parentage was not recorded.

Published in ODC Awards List, Orchid Digest 22(2):73 and 74 (March, 1958) with black-and-white photo. A color version of the same photo (mirror image) is in OrchidWiz, image #117707, attributed to the William Merritt Collection, too blue, but, at least in this version very creatively illuminated. At the same event, this plant receivewd AM/AOS 81 points (AOS Award Number 19570169), and OrchidPro has a different version of the same award photo, this time in pale pink-orange tones. What color should it be? The AOS award description specifies "overall light pink color; pink fringed labellum with greenish yellow throat". It appears the version in OrchidWiz may have been "adjusted" in some way, resulting in exaggerated contrast and a peculiar color balance.

Lc. Areca 'Model' FCC/ODC 90 points, exhibited by B. O. Bracey & Co. ODC Award Number 289. Published in ODC Awards List, Orchid Digest 22(2):73 and 74 (March, 1958) with black-and-white model. At the same event, this plant received FCC/AOS 90 points (AOS Award Number 19580020), and OrchidPro has a color photo. However, the two images do not show the same flower and might not even be from the same flowering. This cultivar (both as Model, and, incorrectly, as Madel!) has been shown in the AOS Bulletin at least eight times. On the first occasion, the black-and-white photo in AOS Bulletin 27(4):255 (April, 1958) matches the one published with the ODC award. The same photo was published again, on the cover of the May, 1959 issue of the AOS Bulletin (28(5)). A very different photo was published in an advertisement by B. O. Bracey and Company in the February, 1961 issue. Yet another, different photo was published in an advertisement by Orchids Orlando in the September and October, 1969 issues. The most recent photo, a color image that looks fairly old, is in Orchids 76(7):528 (July, 2007), the photo credited to Bill Moon, from a plant in the collection of Jeff Bradley, illustrating his article about "The American Heritage Collection of Orchids", not relevant to the question of where the OrchidPro photo came from. Whatever its source, the OrchidPro image supposed to be Areca 'Model' is unlike any other image of this cultivar we have been able to examine; among other issues, the proportions of the segments appear to be very different from all the other images. The question might be resolved if we can locate the AOS award slide.

[Cypripedium Eridge 'AM Variety' HCC/ODC 78.8 points, exhibited by Dr. and Mrs. W. W. Wilson. ODC Award Number 598. Published in ODC Awards List, Orchid Digest 23(6):269 (November, 1959). The award was published late in Orchid Digest (the other awards from this OSSC session had been published there in the May-June and July-August issues), without parentage. There is no corresponding record in the awards lists published in the OSSC Review, but there is one additional OSSC award from this event that is omitted in the ODC Awards List, Cypripedium Raycraft, see below. In fact, the Eridge award seems to be identical with the one found in AOS records as Cypripedium Eridge 'Penn Valley' HCC/AOS 79 points (AOS Award Number 19590028), exhibited by Dr. and Mrs. William W. Wilson of Wynnewood, PA at New York Regional Monthly Judging on January 28, 1959. But how did it get into ODC records, to be published in November, 1959? It might have been sent as a cut flower to some ODC judging site in February, 1959, but without additional information, no further explanation seems possible.]

Cypripedium Raycraft 'Surprise' HCC/ODC 75.03 points, exhibited by R. A. MacLeod. Lacks ODC award number. Published in OSSC Review 1(2):10 (March, 1959), where it is shown as HCC/ODC and HCC/AOS. However, there is no AOS record of this award, and in fact, there is no registration record for this grex. The parentage is listed as Chastity × Bordubi, the second parent probably an error for Bordube, and no such cross has been registered. Whatever this plant was, its ODC and AOS awards would not have been accepted, due to its registration status. From the OSSC Review, it was a first-bloom seedling, "One flower with dorsal and ventral sepals of white, with slight spotting in center of dorsal. Petals white with slight maroon dots and veins; Good substance and texture. Natural spread 4"..."

At the same event, this plant, or possibly another one from the group that was awarded the AQ/ODC, received HCC/AOS 76 points (AOS Award Number 19590269) under the cultivar name 'San Francisco'.

Blc. Norman's Bay 'Ruby' HCC/ODC 77.6 points, exhibited by A. C. Zimmerman. ODC Award Number 738. Published in OD, Orchid Digest 23(6):269 (November, 1959). OSSC Review 1(9) (October, 1959) specifies that this award was ODC only, presumably because the same cultivar had already received a higher award from AOS in 1958, although that was again at OSSC judging, counted as an ODC award, so the present award should not have been given under any circumstances.

Lc. Quadroon 'Sunny Hills' AM/ODC 80.2 points, exhibited by Arthur E. Falk. ODC Award Number 739.

Pleurothallis tuerckheimii 'Kennedy's' CBM/ODC 80 points, exhibited by Dr. George Kennedy. ODC Award Number 742. Published in Orchid Digest 23(6):269 and 270 (November, 1959) with black-and-white photo. At the same event, this plant received CBM/AOS 80 points (AOS Award Number 19590334, where it is currently listed under the name Stelis megachlamys 'Kennedy'). Note: OSSC judged this as Pleurothallis birchenelli 'Kennedy's', an error for birchenallii, now regarded as a synonym of Pleurothallis glossopogon, seemingly a very different plant from tuerckheimii, recorded by AOS for the results of the same judging session; ODC Awards List gives date as September, 1958, in error. OrchidWiz has a color version of the award photo, image #287713.

This award became widely known, and the higher score is undoubtedly the correct one. Far less certain is the correct award photo. Probably the best candidate is the one that appeared on the cover of the AOS Bulletin 30(1) (January, 1961), attributed to (and perhaps that only means, supplied by) the B. O. Bracey Co.

Note: The SCOS newsletter lists instead at this point Phalaenopsis Margaret Bean 'Mary Ann' HCC/ODC 79 points, exhibited by Pernel George Barnett, SCOS #231, an award record that is not found in the ODC Awards List.
