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.

Cypripedium Clair de Lune (no cultivar listed) CCM/AOS 80 points, exhibited by Lambert Day, Los Angeles, CA. AOS Award Number 19620247. OrchidPro (as Paphiopedilum Clair de Lune) lacks usable information. Published in Register of Awards Suppl. IV 596, with notation that this cultivar (?) had received an AM/RHS, and in AOS Bulletin 31(11):931 (November, 1962) with the same ambiguous notation. We thought the award photo might be the one in AOS Bulletin 46(12):1091, showing at least seven flowers and at least five buds, with the correct award and exhibitor, but the points are listed there as 85 instead of 80, and noting the cultivar as 'AM/RHS'; however, this is apparently a photo for a later CCM/AOS for Lambert Day, July 11, 1966, award number 19660340.
As for the AM/RHS award, the only such award for Clair de Lune was for the cultivar 'Edgard van Belle', exhibited July 16, 1935 by D. A. Cowan, attested by the award watercolor by Nellie Roberts. The RHS awards index notes that the cultivar name is "written in pencil" on the painting, so it may be that the award and the painting were made before the cultivar name was known. The AOS awards index 1932-1989 shows five awards for the cultivar 'Edgard van Belle' (the earliest in 1940), and one other for 'AM/RHS'.
