South Coast Orchid Society

American Orchid Society Judging at Long Beach,

1969

We were able to recover photos for all of the 52 awards conferred by the Long Beach site (numbers 40 through 91). As these photos were taken, as far as we know, as part of the AOS judging program and for the use of AOS and its judging program, the implied copyright, if any, should remain with AOS, and, as an AOS affiliated society, SCOS presents them here with that understanding.

Beginning with the awards conferred in January, 1969, AOS published the award information in a separate journal, Awards Quarterly, published from 1970 until the end of 2007. Awards continued to be published also in the AOS Bulletin until 1975. There are some discrepancies between these two sources, but the duplication has been useful in establishing the correct names, and in some cases the correct award photos.

January 27, 1969:

40  Cym. Ann Miller 'Rejoyce', HCC/AOS 75.8 points, Dr. and Mrs. Norito Hasegawa. AOS Award No. 19690046. OrchidPro has complete information and color photo. Published in AOS Bulletin 38(10):913, October, 1969, and Awards Quarterly 1(1):7 (1970). Award text: "Fifteen flowers on one spike; light burgundy-red tepals with heavy veining; white lip with solid maroon bar; narrow white band around labellum", OrchidWiz and OrchidPro have measurements (metric system, the new standard from 1969 to the present), exhibitors Dr. and Mrs. Norito Hawegawa, Orange, CA. This plant, under the cultivar name 'Rejoice' instead of 'Rejoyce' (the latter correct, echoing the name of Norito's wife, Joyce), received BM/CSA the next day, January 28, 1969. This cultivar later received AM/AOS (as 'Rejoyce') at the San Diego County Orchid Show April 27, 1972, and SM/CSA (as 'Rejoice') April 7, 1962, again exhibited by Dr. Hasegawa.

---

51  Cym. Show Girl 'Bertha Landers', HCC/AOS 75.4 points, Miller Collection. The hybrid is correctly Cymbidium Showgirl, not Show Girl. However, a number of awards are listed in OrchidPro under the latter, incorrect name. AOS Award No. 19690127. OrchidPro has complete information (under the correct name, Showgirl) and color photo. Published in AOS Bulletin 38(11):1004, November, 1969, and Awards Quarterly 1(1):16 (1970).

March 24, 1969:

53  Cym. Nisei 'Tsuesi Ikeda', HCC/AOS 77.8 points, Andy Yamamoto. AOS Award No. 19690230. OrchidWiz and OrchidPro have complete information and color photo, but both show the cultivar name as 'Tseuemi Ikeda'. It is not known where the second version of the cultivar name came from, or which one is correct. Published in AOS Bulletin 38(11):1011 November, 1969, with cultivar name 'Tsuesi Ikeda' – thus, the two earliest publications agree the cultivar name was originally 'Tsuesi Ikeda'. The second version may well be an error, but it could equally be an attempt at 'Tsuemi Ikeda', see below. Award text: "Sixteen flowers and eight buds on seven spikes; cream tepals; lip a delicate, pale pink, suffused throughout lobes; spikes have three to five flowers", exhibitor Andy Takashi Yamamoto, Culver City, CA.

[The search for the correct cultivar name: We found Cym. Regal Ruby 'Emiko' BM/CSA exhibited by Frank Kazumi Ikeda, probably of Venice, CA on February 3, 1996. We also found a snapshot of Mr. Ikeda in front of this plant, associated with his obituary (the funeral was held at Venice-Santa Monica Free Methodist Church, with parking at adjacent Venice Japanese Community Center). The obituary, in turn, mentions a sister-in-law Tsuemi Ikeda, who is apparently also known as Sara or Sarah Tsuemi, wife of Henry Ikeda of Torrance (however, the obituary does not mention the name of Frank's brother, implying that he had already died — could this be the Henry Y. Ikeda of Torrance born September 28, 1918 and died February 8, 2004? Henry Ikeda received a number of AOS and CSA awards for his Cymbidiums, and was the originator of two Cymbidiums subsequently registered by Andy Yamamoto.). Kazumi was born in 1916, probably in Japan, son of Gentaro Ikeda and Misayo Nishimoto, married 11 may 1953 in Los Angeles to Emiko Miyamoto, and died February 27, 2007, age 91. "Tsuemi" differs by one letter from both of the cultivar names found in the AOS records. Reference: Orchid Advocate 22(4):176, July-August, 1996 (not yet examined). It is possible some mention of Cym. Nisei can be found in CSA publications. Solved! We found this award in Awards Quarterly 1(1):30 (1970), clearly Cymbidium Nisei 'Tsuemi Ikeda' HCC/AOS. We got it right, and finally confirmed it! Evidently, awards were checked carefully before publication in Awards Quarterly and somebody caught the error.]

54  Cym. Moonshot 'Balkie', HCC/AOS 76.1 points, Fred A. Stewart's, Inc. OrchidPro gives the cultivar name as 'Rose Spinel', but it is apparently the same plant with the same score. AOS Award No. 19690229. OrchidPro has complete information but no photo. Published in AOS Bulletin 38(11):1011 November, 1969, and Awards Quarterly 1(1):30 (1970), both with cultivar name 'Rose Spinel'. Award text: "Fourteen flowers on one spike; rose-lavender petals and sepals, with white edging; lip spotted with deep purple-maroon", exhibitor Fred A. Stewart, Inc., San Gabriel, CA. This cultivar (as 'Rose Spinel') received BM/CSA about a week earlier, March 18, 1969, exhibited by Fred A. Stewart, Inc., San Gabriel, CA.

April 28, 1969:

55  C. Irene Holguin, AQ/AOS, Armacost and Royston. AOS Award No. 19690365. OrchidPro has complete information but no photo. Published in AOS Bulletin 39(1):57, January, 1970, and Awards Quarterly 1(1):42 (1970). Award text, which in all these sources fails to mention how many plants of this hybrid group were exhibited: "Excellent overlapping flowers with lavender sepals and petals; lower two-thirds of lip a rich magenta purple; yellow orange on upper lip, deepening to orange in throat. Quality outstanding for this type of breeding, since most are first-bloom seedlings", exhibitor Armacost and Royston, Inc., West Los Angeles, CA. The award photo and further description — there were 12 plants from this cross, as required at the time by the AOS judging standards — was published in Awards Quarterly 9(3):84 (1978) in an article about judging standards for some of the lesser known AOS awards. Comparison with the photo in the Pacific South award slides collection shows how much detail is lost in publication.

56  Cym. Sea Chanty 'Memoria Palmer Lindsley', AM/AOS 82.5 points, Mrs. Byron Lindsley. AOS Award No. 19690356. OrchidPro has complete information and color photo. Published in AOS Bulletin 39(1):57, January, 1970, and Awards Quarterly 1(1):42 (1970). Award text: "Eight flowers on each of three spikes; flowers of massive character; clear lime-green tepals; lip a light yellow-green; moderately spotted on margins; column a light green, matching flowers", exhibitor Mrs. Byron F. Lindsley, San Diego, CA.

---

57  C. Irene Holguin 'Brown Eyes', AM/AOS 80.1 points, Armacost and Royston. AOS Award No. 19690355. OrchidPro has complete information and color photo. Published in AOS Bulletin 39(1):57, January, 1970, and Awards Quarterly 1(1):42 (1970). Award text: "Three flowers on spike; tall stem with flowers of medium lavender tepals; lip reddish purple on lower lobe; yellow eyes, purple throat and yellow veins; light lavender trim on entire edge of lip", exhibitor Armacost and Royston, Inc., West Los Angeles, CA. It appears that the cultivar names on the award slides have been confused, but are correctly identified in OrchidPro: The slide for 'Beauty' is in fact 'Brown Eyes', and the slide for 'Brown Eyes' is in fact 'Beauty'

---

58  C. Irene Holguin 'Petite', HCC/AOS 77.9 points, Armacost and Royston. AOS Award No. 19690360. OrchidPro has complete information but no photo. Published in AOS Bulletin 39(1):57, January, 1970, and Awards Quarterly 1(1):42 (1970). Award not found in OrchidWiz. Award text: "Five flowers on one spike; rosy lavender sepals and petals, with dark magenta lip; bright crimson marking in throat", exhibitor Armacost and Royston, Inc., West Los Angeles, CA.

---

59  C. Irene Holguin 'Beauty', HCC/AOS 77.9 points, Armacost and Royston. AOS Award No. 19690358. OrchidPro has complete information and color photo. Published in AOS Bulletin 39(1):57, January, 1970, and Awards Quarterly 1(1):42 (1970). Award text: "Three flowers on spike; very rich lavender sepals and petals; lip a red-violet with bright yellow-orange on inner throat", exhibitor Armacost and Royston, Inc., West Los Angeles, CA.

---

60  C. Irene Holguin 'Hoagy', HCC/AOS 77.6 points, Armacost and Royston. AOS Award No. 19690359. OrchidPro has complete information and color photo. Published in AOS Bulletin 39(1):57, January, 1970, and Awards Quarterly 1(1):42 (1970). Award text: "Three flowers on spike; a very tall stem; three medium lavender tepals; lip deep purple on lower lobe, with large yellow eyes and purple-and-yellow-veined throat; light lavender trim around edge of lip", exhibitor Armacost and Royston, Inc., West Los Angeles, CA.

---

61  C. Califlora 'Royston', HCC/AOS 77.4 points. Armacost and Royston. AOS Award No. 19690357. OrchidPro has complete information and color photo. Published in AOS Bulletin 39(1):57, January, 1970, and Awards Quarterly 1(1):42 (1970). Award text: "Three flowers on spike; a clear, light lavender without veining; deep yellow lip with rich magenta spot; ruffled white border with some lavender tesselation", exhibitor Armacost Royston, Inc., West Los Angeles, CA. There is a photo labeled as this variety in OrchidWiz, image #55663 from the Steve McNerney collection, but it does not match the award description, as the photo shows six flowers on two spikes, and is not "posed" as an award photo would be. The real award photo — but with the color extremely distorted — also appears in AOS Bulletin 40(1):48, January, 1971.

62  Phal. Elisa 'Bonsall', HCC/AOS 76.0 points, Arthur Freed Orchids. AOS Award No. 19690362. OrchidPro has complete information but no photo.

---

63  Phal. unnamed 'Bonsall', HCC/AOS 76.0 points, Arthur Freed Orchids. The hybrid is Phal. Shapely Doll, based on matching award date from the SCOS newsletter with the AOS award records for the same date. Hybrid originated and registered in 1969 by Woodlawn Nursery, Honolulu, HI. AOS Award No. 19690363. OrchidPro has complete information but no photo. Published in AOS Bulletin 39(1):57, January, 1970, and Awards Quarterly 1(1):43 (1970). Award text: "Five flowers and two buds on one spike; a medium-dark lavender-rose; upper half white; whole lip spotted white; center of each sepal underlined with yellow; inner portion of all segments evenly speckled; heavy substance; good form", exhibitor Arthur Freed Orchids, Inc., Malibu, CA.

[January, 1970 SCOS newsletter is missing, it should have contained award 91 from December, 1969. However, a search of the OrchidPro database for award location Long Beach, California and the date range produced two awards. One is correct, shown here as [91]. The other, Dendrobium Hickam Deb 'Midnight', was incorrectly listed as an award from the Long Beach judging center in OrchidPro and OrchidWiz under AOS Award No. 19690594, and was actually awarded December 27, 1969 at the San Antonio, TX judging site, and published as such in the AOS Bulletin 39(4):351, April, 1970 and in Awards Quarterly 1(2):71 (1970). How did this happen? The award for Hickam Deb 'Midnight' appears in Awards Quarterly directly below the Long Beach award for Rlc. Carol Ann Latimer 'Christmas Beauty'. When award information was transcribed into the AOS awards database, the change of judging venue from Long Beach to San Antonio, very clear in the text, was missed in error! The AOS award index 1932-1989 correctly attributes the award for Hickam Deb 'Midnight' to San Antonio judging.]

December 22, 1969:

[91]  Rlc. Carol Ann Latimer 'Christmas Beauty', HCC/AOS 77 points, J. C. Laughter. AOS Award No. 19690593. OrchidPro has complete information and color photo.
