Awards conferred by the American Orchid Society through the end of 1968 were published as a normal, if sometimes irregular feature in the AOS Bulletin (punctuated by such "disruptions" as the AOS Secretary's "trip to the West Coast" in 1950, for example), but also in a separate Register of Awards (one volume plus supplements I through VI, paged continuously). During the same period, Orchid Digest Corporation, through its affiliated societies, conducted its own judging program in our area, but the records of the ODC awards are more difficult to compile and will be presented separately. The AOS awards listed here serve to fill out the story of orchids as a hobby and business in Southern California, and of the many people who participated in SCOS during its early years.
We were able to recover photos for many of the awards, although we found numerous discrepancies. Small black and white photos were sometimes published when the awards were announced in the AOS Bulletin, or in reports about shows where AOS judging had taken place. Later, these small photos were sometimes included in the Register of Awards. Larger photos of awarded plants, but not always the same photos, were included in articles in the Bulletin. Some color photos ultimately found their way into OrchidPro and the official AOS databases that preceded it, but we have encountered many awards where the color photo in OrchidPro does not match the black and white photos published at the time of the awards, and in any case, many of the earlier color photos, in the form of digital scans from old slides whose present location is unknown, are of very bad quality. 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. For the early award photos, it is very rare to find any mention of the photographers.
The various ways that color slides have faded, and presumably also the various ways that the old slides have been scanned and adjusted, has required some difficult choices. The most common issue is an overall blue tint in the OrchidPro images, which can be adjusted to some extent. In addition, some of the images have simply lost color, and benefit from adjusting the saturation. When it seems clear that the image is the correct award photo, the award description has served as a useful guide in assessing the image and in determining whether adjustments should be attempted. In these situations, however, we hope that further investigation will eventually lead to the original color slides and new scans with more current technology.
Absent evidence to the contrary, any black and white photos published along with the awards in the AOS Bulletin are presumed to be the "official" award photos. However, we found examples where the photos published later turn out to be different shots of the same flower, and thus taken at the same judging session. It is presently unknown whether multiple photos from the same award were sometimes submitted to AOS. In some cases, it may be that both versions were cropped from different parts of a single original color slide.
The earliest slides we have found so far in the Pacific South awards slide collection at the Huntington Botanical Center are from 1966.

Blc. Harlequin 'Act I' AM/AOS 80 points, exhibited by B. O. Bracey Co., Santa Ana, CA. AOS Award Number 19590329. OrchidPro (as Rlc. Harlequin (1939), but should be Rlc. Harlequin (1960)! — the parentage Lc. Memoria Albert Heinecke × Blc. Nugget is included in the Register of Awards and in numerous subsequent mentions) lacks usable information. Published in Register of Awards Suppl. II 345, and in AOS Bulletin 29(2):131 (February, 1960).
There are numerous references to this cultivar under different spellings: Act I, Act 1, Act. 1, Act # 1, and quite possibly Act II. There are several photos in OrchidWiz, one of which, image #55342, attributed to Steve McNerney and listing the correct award and grower, might possibly be the award photo. However, this image, while carefully posed, was taken in a greenhouse, not at the judging session in Hollywood. Therefore, we examined the various photos published in the AOS Bulletin. The most popular one (not a match with image #55342 in OrchidWiz), provided by the B. O. Bracey Co., was featured on the cover of the AOS Bulletin 30(1) (January, 1961), but by then the same cultivar, which caused a sensation at the time, had been vigorously marketed until sold out. It is still not known whether any of the available images is the authentic award photo.
The same flower was awarded both AM/AOS and AM/ODC at the same judging session (80.25 points), as reported in the OSSC Review 1(9):13 (October, 1959), but the ODC Awards List 1952-1965 lists this as HCC, 75.8 points. Exactly what happened is not very clear. First, even though the official registration date is apparently 1960, the plant was judged in September, 1959 as "BLC. HARLEQUIN 'ACT I' (name not yet registered)". We suppose that all the paperwork and payment had been submitted, but that the final notice of registration had not yet been issued. The first publication occurred in the OSSC Review, under the heading "OSSC Southern California Regional A.O.S. and Orchid Digest Judging September 14,1959", with a list of the judges. The first item on the list, Blc. Norman's Bay 'Ruby', was awarded HCC/ODC only, the other plants judges received equivalent awards under both AOS and ODC standards. In due course, in the November-December, 1959 issue of Orchid Digest 23(6):269-270, all of the ODC awards from this judging session except for the award to Blc. Harlequin 'Act I' were published — presumably, the award for the latter was delayed pending receipt of proof of registration. In February, 1960, all the AOS awards from this session, including the one for Harlequin, were published in the AOS Bulletin. The missing ODC award for Harlequin did not appear until the September, 1960 issue of Orchid Digest 24(8):353, but shown as HCC/ODC with a score of only 75.8 points. It seems unlikely that the discrepancy is anything other than an error
Lc. Quadroon 'Sunny Hills' AM/AOS 80 points, exhibited by Arthur E. Falk, Long Beach, CA. AOS Award Number 19590330. OrchidPro lacks usable information. Published in Register of Awards Suppl. II 345, and in AOS Bulletin 29(2):132 (February, 1960). Now correctly a Cattleya. The award photo is apparently the one in OrchidWiz, image #117902, attributed to the William Merritt Collection, listing the correct award, but the exhibitor is shown as Arthur E. Folk, Long Beach, CA, an obvious typographical error.
Lc. Quadroon 'Voodoo' HCC/AOS 79 points, exhibited by B. O. Bracey Co., Santa Ana, CA. AOS Award Number 19590331. OrchidPro lacks usable information. Published in Register of Awards Suppl. II 345, and in AOS Bulletin 29(2):132 (February, 1960). Now correctly a Cattleya.
Phalaenopsis Doris 'Malibu' HCC/AOS 75 points, exhibited by Arthur Freed Orchids, Inc., Malibu, CA. AOS Award Number 19590332. OrchidPro lacks usable information. Published in Register of Awards Suppl. II 346, and in AOS Bulletin 29(2):132 (February, 1960). There is a photo illustrating an article on the best breeding stock of white Phalaenopsis in AOS Bulletin47(12):1105 (December, 1978), but that issue lacks photo credits and the style of the photo, a single flower, is not typical for this judging site.
Phalaenopsis Palm Beach 'Country Acres' HCC/AOS 77 points, exhibited by Arthur Freed Orchids, Inc., Malibu, CA. AOS Award Number 19590333. OrchidPro lacks usable information. Published in Register of Awards Suppl. II 346, and in AOS Bulletin 29(2):132 (February, 1960).
Pleurothallis tuerckheimii 'Kennedy' CBM/AOS 80 points, exhibited by Dr. George C. Kennedy, Pacific Palisades, CA. AOS Award Number 19590334. OrchidPro (as Stelis megachlamys) lacks usable information apart from note about the latest name change, but has color photo. Published in Register of Awards Suppl. II 346, and in AOS Bulletin 29(2):132 (February, 1960). The award was made a OSSC judging, reported in detail in the OSSC Review for October, 1959, where the plant is listed as Pleurothallis birchenelli 'Kennedy's'. The species name was an attempt at birchenallii, which is now regarded as a synonym of Pleurothallis glossopogon. The initial identification was evidently revised very soon to tuerckheimii, as published by ODC and AOS. The photo in OrchidPro supports the correction of the original identification.
Lc. H. G. Alexander 'Teresa' AM/AOS 81 points, exhibited by B. O. Bracey Co., Santa Ana, CA. AOS Award Number 19590376. OrchidPro lacks usable information. Published in Register of Awards Suppl. II 350, and in AOS Bulletin 29(2):135 (February, 1960). Now correctly a Cattleya.

Cattleya Bob Betts 'El Sueño' AM/AOS 81 points, exhibited by Dos Pueblos Orchid Co., Goleta, CA. AOS Award Number 19590479.

A much better scan of the same award photo was published in Orchid Digest 64(2):57 (April, 2000) in an article by Courtney Hackney, Cattleyas: A Twentieth Century Tale, the source credited to Ernest Hetherington.

Cattleya Porcia 'Hollywood' HCC/AOS 77 points, exhibited by Dr. Etta Gray, Hollywood, CA. AOS Award Number 19590482. OrchidPro lacks usable information. Published in Register of Awards Suppl. II 361, and in AOS Bulletin 29(4):298 (April, 1960), but under the heading Regional Monthly Judging, New York, NY — the list of Hollywood awards in that issue of the AOS Bulletin was interrupted by two items from New York, in error, in such a way that this and the following four awards from Hollywood appear to come from New York judging. This error does not currently affect OrchidPro, because all the awards involved are listed there without the name of the venue or, indeed, most other information. Now correctly a Cattlianthe.

Haemaria dawsoniana (no cultivar name) CBM/AOS 80 points, exhibited by William S. McEwan, China Lake, CA. AOS Award Number 19600008. OrchidPro lacks usable information, but has color photo. Published in Register of Awards Suppl. III 392, and in AOS Bulletin 29(5):375 (May, 1960). Now correctly Ludisia discolor.
Laelia rubescens alba 'Mariel' CCM/AOS 80 points, exhibited by William S. McEwan, China Lake, CA. AOS Award Number 19600009. OrchidPro lacks usable information. Published in Register of Awards Suppl. III 392 with black and white photo, and in AOS Bulletin 29(5):375 (May, 1960) with black and white photo. A color version of the award photo is found in OrchidWiz, image #56161, attributed to Steve McNerney.
Slc. Falcon 'Alexanderi' FCC/AOS 90 points, exhibited by Arthur E. Falk, Fullerton, CA. AOS Award Number 19600034. OrchidPro (as Cattleya Falcon (1917)) lacks usable information. Published in Register of Awards Suppl. III 396, with notation that this cultivar had previously received an FCC/RHS, and in AOS Bulletin 29(6):458 (June, 1960). There are many illustrations of this cultivar (and a rumor that all examples are infected with a virus), but it has been difficult to be sure which of them might be from the official award photo. Eventually, we found a fairly clear attribution in the most recent illustration, in a photo in Orchids 63(3):39 (January, 2009), where the award and exhibitor are listed, FCC/AOS, and Arthur Falk. This photo is the same one Courtney Hackney used in American Cattleyas (2004, plate G-45, from Roy Field via Norito Hasegawa). Both of these show a closeup of a single flower, with parts of two other flowers in the background. Were they cropped from a larger photo of the entire FCC/AOS awarded plant, which has also been published at least twice (AOS Bulletin 41(11):967 (November, 1972) and 46(1):15 (January, 1977))? Unfortunately, this does not appear to be the case, even though the photo published in 1972 and 1977 has the look of an award photo from the 1960's. We show here the 2009 version from Orchids, but it may be possible to locate a copy of the award slide.

Cymbidium Maxine 'Noma' AM/AOS 80 points, exhibited by John W. Baumgartner, Encinitas, CA. AOS Award Number 19600115. OrchidPro lacks usable information. Published in Register of Awards Suppl. III 406, and in AOS Bulletin 29(6):459 (June, 1960). We think we have found the appropriate award photo, correctly naming the show and the exhibitor, but showing the award incorrectly as HCC instead of AM, in AOS Bulletin 29(11):819 (November, 1960), even though the same plant was awarded a Bronze Medal by the Cymbidium Society of America at the same show, because the photo from CSA also exists (OrchidWiz image #80621), and it shows a different flower.
Cymbidium Ann Green 'Pink Splendor' HCC/AOS 77 points, exhibited by Dos Pueblos Orchid Co., Goleta, CA. AOS Award Number 19600116. OrchidPro lacks usable information. Published in Register of Awards Suppl. III 406, and in AOS Bulletin 29(6):459 (June, 1960).

Published in Register of Awards Suppl. III 406, and in AOS Bulletin 29(6):460 (June, 1960). The color photo in OrchidPro turns out to be a color version of the award photo (published in the Register and in the AOS Bulletin) for a later award for the same cultivar, AM/AOS, at the San Diego County Orchid Society Show, April 6, 1961. The color photo needs to be moved from award 19600117 to award 19610214.
