South Coast Orchid Society

Orchid Judging in Long Beach, 1954 and Beyond!

American Orchid Society Judging at Long Beach,

1976

We were able to recover photos for 57 of the 67 awards conferred by the Long Beach site. Some of the awards contain serious errors. As the awards photos were created, 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. We would very much like to obtain photos from the other awards, possibly from collections of AOS award slides that were sent out to judging centers and affiliate societies over the years.

In the first issue of Awards Quarterly 8(1):46 (January, 1977), there is a notice about the lack of photos in the preceding years. Evidently, the absence of photos from some regions (notably from the Western US) had occasioned complaints: "Note on Awards Quarterly Photography. This extra-large issue of the Awards Quarterly benefits immensely by the generous contributions of our Awards Photographers in the 17 Regional and Supplemental Judging centers throughout the United States. Many of these photographers are professionals in their own right but donate their expertise to the Society, charging only for materials. This generosity enables us to publish more and more pictures at lower costs.

"Some award recipients and judges have complained in a most courteous way, about the lack of photographs of orchids awarded in certain regions or at certain shows. An A.O.S. judging requirement states that a black-and-white photograph must be taken — in addition to the 12 original slides — of every awarded plant save that of a J.C. or H.C.C. The black-and-white photographs are used in the Awards Quarterly, the color slides in the Bulletin. We publish Every black-and-white photograph that is available. If photographs of plants do not appear in the Awards Quarterly, it is because such black-and-white photographs have not been sent to the Cambridge offices.

"Let us try to make the Awards Quarterly as complete a pictorial record as possible. The sooner photographs are sent in, the more swiftly can the awards be published. In the meantime, we do thank our photographers immensely for their fine and generous support."

Thus, the lack of photos in Awards Quarterly was attributed to the photographers not sending black-and-white photos to the AOS offices at Cambridge, MA. However, this does not seem to explain the accompanying lack of color photos for the same period in OrchidPro. It might be that some regions were not using the correct mailing address for the offices at Harvard University, and the pictures were going astray! Whether we can locate the missing color photos among the collection of AOS award slides at The Huntington Botanical Center has not yet been determined.

There are several additional points mentioned in this notice:

Awards that require corrections in OrchidPro, or that are not found at all in OrchidPro, are indicated by a warning sign:

Awards where editing or replacement of the photos in OrchidPro should be considered are indicated by a camera icon:



January 22, 1976:

These two awards have been corrupted, the award numbers in OrchidPro place them in 1975, while the award date is in 1976 !!! Numbers 311 and 312 not found in the 1976 awards. Further, the normal meetings of SCOS and the judging team are almost always held on the 4th Monday of the month, except when a holiday interferes. However, in the 1970's, the January SCOS meeting was the annual awards banquet, held at the Petroleum Club. There was no judging on those evenings, so judging was apparently rescheduled to a different date. The judging schedule was published in the AOS Bulletin, where we find (November, 1975 issue, for example), that judging was indeed scheduled for January 22, 1976. The corresponding date for 1975 was January 27. These two awards were very definitely from 1976, not 1975.

Paphiopedilum Valwin 'No. 1' HCC/AOS, new scan from Pacific South award slides

AOS Award No. 19750311 (should be 19760311) Paphiopedilum Valwin '#1', HCC/AOS 77 points, Hanes Orchids of Distinction. Published in Awards Quarterly 8(1):36 (1977) as 19760311, without a photo. The cultivar name on the award slide is 'No. 1', while the version in Awards Quarterly says '#1'. The award description in OrchidPro for 19750311 is in error: "A very sturdy spike with 22 wine-colored flowers, mustard-red in back of tepals; reddish lip with white marking in throat." The description clearly refers to something other than a Paph, and this is also clear from the measurements, as the dorsal sepal was only 1.4 cm wide and 3.4 cm long. The description does not match the named plant. In OrchidPro, it is possible to query the award descriptions, using a "Basic" search, and selecting the "Broad Search" option. There are currently 24 awards where the description includes the word "wine-colored", but none of them is the missing plant. OrchidWiz has the same information as OrchidPro for this award. The original award number 19750311 is found in Awards Quarterly 8(1):5 (1977), for Dendrobium Fiftieth State Beauty 'Esther' HCC/AOS 76 points, exhibited by John K. H. Yee at Honolulu, HI, April 57, 1975, with description: "A very sturdy spike with twenty-two wine-colored flowers, mustard-red in back of tepals; reddish lip with white marking in throat". The correct description for 19760311, Paph. Valwin '#1', from Awards Quarterly 8(1):36 (1977), is: "One spike with one flower; dorsal basically white, heavily brushed with dark lavender, base portion radiatiing about 1" with chartreuse; petals chartreuse with heavy overlay of brown spots near column; ventral white with central portion green; some purple mottling on sides; pouch chartreuse with overlay of brownish-lavender". The award slide has a flaw on the film in the center of the dorsal sepal, but it does not appear to interfere with the overall quality of the image.


Paphiopedilum Freckles 'John Fry' HCC/AOS, new scan from Pacific South award slides

AOS Award No. 19750312 (should be 19760312) Paphiopedilum Freckles 'John Fry', HCC/AOS 75 points, Hanes Orchids of Distinction. The description is appropriate for a Paph, the dorsal sepal 7.1 cm wide and 5.5 cm long. Apart from the description, however, the situation described in the previous item applies here as well. Both OrchidPro and OrchidWiz show the award number 19750312 but place the date of judging on January 22, 1976. Published in Awards Quarterly 8(1):36 (1977), as 19760312 without a photo, and description: "One spike with one flower; dorsal white with chartreuse sunburst, purple in central one half; petals dorsally yellow, washing to white at tips with radiating lines of purple dots behind the pouch; pouch very light yellow with frontal portion pink". As far as we can determine, there never was an award 19750312 published in Awards Quarterly.

Rhyncholaeliocattleya Memoria Helen Brown 'Sweet Afton' AM/AOS, new scan from Pacific South award slides

AOS Award No. 19760436 Rhyncholaeliocattleya Memoria Helen Brown 'Sweet Afton', AM/AOS 82 points, Fred A. Stewart, Inc. Published in Awards Quarterly 8(3):97 (1977) with black and white photo. OrchidPro has complete information and color photo. This hybrid was originally registered as a Brassolaeliocattleya in 1967. Exactly what color is this cultivar? AOS awards call it chartreuse or even "true chartreuse". An award from the Australian Orchid Conference (December 19, 1978) specifies "yellow green 145B" — this refers to the "RHS Colour Chart" (many editions, and the color sample in the chart is presumably judged to be the closest one to the observed color of the flower under the actual judging conditions and illumination), and apparently converts to RGB color code #B8BE6E, which is quite "muddy" compared with any of the available photos. Photos from show awards in Brazil range from pale chartreuse to near-white to medium yellow.

Dyakia hendersoniana 'Christy' AM/AOS, from OrchidPro

AOS Award No. 19760672 Ascocentrum hendersonianum 'Christy', AM/AOS 82 points, Fordyce S. Marsh. Published in Awards Quarterly 8(3):110 with black and white photo, which is also on the cover of that issue, credited to photographer Richard Clark. OrchidPro has complete information and color photo. The current name, for some reason, is Dyakia hendersoniana, see Orchid Digest 50:63 (1986). It is endemic to Borneo. This is one of the species formerly classified as a Saccolabium, before it was an Ascocentrum. When the rest of Ascocentrum was dumped into Vanda, along with many other genera, it was found that Dyakia was an outlier, not closely related to Vanda at all. Its closest relatives appear to be Cryptopylos and Macropodanthus.
