South Coast Orchid Society

AOS Awards at Southern California Sites
Other Than Long Beach
1965-1966

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.

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 11, 1965, Regional Monthly Judging, Hawthorne, CA:

Cymbidium Lionello 'Vivian Mors' AM/AOS 81 points, exhibited by Arthur Freed Orchids, Inc., Malibu, CA. AOS Award Number 19650017. OrchidPro lacks usable information. All such entries in OrchidPro need to be updated with the information in the Register of Awards. Published in Register of Awards Suppl. V 792, and in AOS Bulletin 34(7):636 (July, 1965).


Cypripedium Gigi 'Bonsall' AM/AOS 82 points, exhibited by Arthur Freed Orchids, Inc., Malibu, CA. AOS Award Number 19650018. OrchidPro (as Paphiopedilum Gigi) lacks usable information. Published in Register of Awards Suppl. V 792, and in AOS Bulletin 34(7):636 (July, 1965).


Cypripedium Gigi 'Bonsall' CCM/AOS 80 points, exhibited by Arthur Freed Orchids, Inc., Malibu, CA. AOS Award Number 19650019. OrchidPro lacks usable information. Published in Register of Awards Suppl. V 792, and in AOS Bulletin 34(7):636 (July, 1965).


Cymbidium Stanley Fouraker 'White Magic' HCC/AOS 75 points, exhibited by Fred A. Stewart, Inc., San Gabriel, CA. AOS Award Number 19650020. OrchidPro lacks usable information. Published in Register of Awards Suppl. V 792, and in AOS Bulletin 34(7):637 (July, 1965).


Potinara Carousel 'Crimson Triumph' HCC/AOS 79 points, exhibited by Fred A. Stewart, Inc., San Gabriel, CA. AOS Award Number 19650021. OrchidPro (as Rlc. Carrousel, which is the correct spelling, not to be confused with Rlc. Carousel with one "r"!) lacks usable information, and has a color photo, which, however, is not the awarded flower, as the description indicates a single flower, while the photo, taken in a greenhouse, shows two flowers. Published in Register of Awards Suppl. V 792, and in AOS Bulletin 34(7):637 (July, 1965).

Rlc. Carousel, with one "r", was registered in 1958 as Blc. Carousel (parentage at that time Lc. Lee Langford × Lc. S. J. Bracey) by SCOS President Glenn W. Hamilton. It was very likely named after the musical Carousel, by Rodgers and Hammerstein, the movie version of which had been released in 1956. Rlc. Carrousel, with two "r"s, was registered in 1965 as Potinara Carrousel (parentage at that time Cattleya Leila Aaronson × Potinara Red Lava) by Fred A. Stewart, Inc. While attempts have been made to distinguish between the words "carousel" and "carrousel", it seems to be a distinction without a difference; "carrousel" is simply a less common spelling of "carousel".

Rlc. Carrousel 'Crimson Triumph' AM/AOS, from OrchidPro, but apparently not the correct award photo, and possibly not an award photo at all. The awarded AM/AOS plant had only a single flower. The same photo is found in OrchidPro for awards 1965021 (the present HCC/AOS award, January 11, 1965), 19660219 (AM/AOS, March 21, 1966, but in this case, there is a second photo with two flowers, likely the true award photo for 19660219), and 19700036 (Seattle, January 28, 1970, this one, too, with a second photo of two flowers that is likely the true award photo for 19700036 — this award is apparently not found in OrchidWiz). All of these awards need to be edited in OrchidPro to be sure that the correct photos are attached.

Cymbidium Rosarita 'Serenity' CCM/AOS 80 points, exhibited by Dos Pueblos Orchid Co., Goleta, CA. AOS Award Number 19660246. OrchidPro lacks usable information. Published in Register of Awards Suppl. VI 945, and in AOS Bulletin 35(10):xii (in a "Supplement" beginning after page 882) (October, 1966). The cultivar name on the award slide is 'Serenity', some other records say 'Serenade'?

Lc. Switzerland 'Ridgeway' AM/AOS 80 points, exhibited by Ridgeway Orchid Gardens, National City, CA. AOS Award Number 19660289. OrchidPro lacks usable information, but has color photo. Published in Register of Awards Suppl. VI 954, and in AOS Bulletin 35(11):vi (in a "Supplement" beginning after page 966) (November, 1966). Now correctly a Cattleya.

Phalaenopsis violacea 'Country Acres' AM/AOS, from AOS Bulletin 47(8):689

Phalaenopsis violacea 'Country Acres' AM/AOS 80 points, exhibited by Arthur Freed Orchids, Inc., Malibu, CA. AOS Award Number 19660317. OrchidPro (as Phalaenopsis bellina) lacks usable information, apart from a notation that the name was changed to bellina in 2018. Published in Register of Awards Suppl. VI 960, and in AOS Bulletin 35(11):x (in a "Supplement" beginning after page 966) (November, 1966). The award photo may be the one published in AOS Bulletin 47(8):689 (August, 1978), with correct information except listing the point score as 81; there were no other awards for this cultivar, so the score may simply be a typographical error.

The change of all older awards from violacea to bellina based on their coloration could be problematic, as it is not known whether any of these plants might be anomalous examples or might have been horticultural creations from crosses involving parents that would now be considered violacea.


Sl. Gratrixiae 'Rotor' HCC/AOS 79 points, exhibited by Fred A. Stewart, Inc., San Gabriel, CA. AOS Award Number 19660318. OrchidPro (as Sl. Gratrixiae (1901)) lacks usable information.

Paphiopedilum parishii 'Tartar' AM/AOS, from AOS Bulletin 36(11):1006

Cypripedium parishii 'Tartar' AM/AOS 84 points, exhibited by Lloyd R. DeGarmo, Bellflower, CA. AOS Award Number 19660336. OrchidPro (as Paphiopedilum parishii) lacks usable information. Published in Register of Awards Suppl. VI 966, and in AOS Bulletin 36(1):50 (January, 1967). The award photo was published as part of a photo spread of species awards from 1966, in AOS Bulletin 36(11):1006 (November, 1967). (See award 19660320, above.)


Blc. Fortune 'Golden Throne' HCC/AOS 76 points, exhibited by Fred A. Stewart, Inc., San Gabriel, CA. AOS Award Number 19660337. OrchidPro lacks usable information. Published in Register of Awards Suppl. VI 966, and in AOS Bulletin 36(1):50 (January, 1967). Now correctly a Rhyncholaeliocattleya. There are many published photos of this cultivar, but we were unable to identify any of them as the likely award photo.


Doritis pulcherrima 'Bonsall' HCC/AOS 76 points, exhibited by Arthur Freed Orchids, Inc., Malibu, CA. AOS Award Number 19660338. OrchidPro (as Phalaenopsis pulcherrima) lacks usable information. Published in Register of Awards Suppl. VI 966, and in AOS Bulletin 36(1):50 (January, 1967).

Paphiopedilum Clair de Lune 'AM/RHS' CCM/AOS, from AOS Bulletin 46(12):1091

Cypripedium Clair de Lune 'AM/RHS' CCM/AOS 85 points, exhibited by Lambert E. Day, Los Angeles, CA. AOS Award Number 19660340. OrchidPro (as Paphiopedilum Clair de Lune) lacks usable information. Published in Register of Awards Suppl. VI 966, and in AOS Bulletin 36(1):51 (January, 1967). This is the second CCM/AOS that Lambert Day received for this cultivar; the first was at Regional Monthly Judging in Hollywood (Fiesta Hall, in Plummer Park) on July 9, 1962 (80 points, award number 19620247). A photo from one of these awards was published in AOS Bulletin 46(12):1091 (December, 1977). By comparing the photo with the descriptions from the two awards, it is clear that the photo is from the second CCM/AOS.

Blc. Memoria Crispin Rosales 'Carolyn' HCC/AOS 79 points, exhibited by Mr. V. M. Williams, Midland, TX. AOS Award Number 19660413. OrchidPro (as Rlc. Memoria Crispin Rosales) lacks usable information (however, its expected award number 19660401 is instead Dendrobium Alice Chong 'Leighton' AM/AOS, awarded June 30, 1966 at the Hawaii State Fair!).

Odontoglossum grande 'Los Osos' HCC/AOS 77 points, exhibited by The Orchid House, Los Osos, CA. AOS Award Number 19660426. OrchidPro lacks usable information. Published in Register of Awards Suppl. VI 981, and in AOS Bulletin 36(4):336 (April, 1967). Now correctly Rossioglossum grande.

Sigmatostalix radicans 'Georgia Jean' CCM/AOS, from OrchidPro

Sigmatostalix radicans 'Georgia Jean' CCM/AOS 80 points, exhibited by Georgia and Don Grodske, Sylmar, CA. AOS Award Number 19660428. OrchidPro lacks usable information, but has color photo. Published in Register of Awards Suppl. VI 981, and in AOS Bulletin 36(6):530 (June, 1967). Surprisingly, now correctly (?) Gomesa radicans. This species, whatever its correct name and taxonomic treatment, is famous for forming specimen plants with thousands of flowers — the current record is 13,636 flowers on 828 spikes (ACE/AOC, March 31, 2019, Eastern District Orchid Society Show, Brisbane, Australia, exhibitor W. Williams), although we have no idea how the judging team was able to achieve an accurate count.


October 10, 1966, Regional Monthly Judging, Los Angeles, CA:

Cattleya Mary Lynn McKenzie 'Zuma' HCC/AOS 75 points, exhibited by Arthur Freed Orchids, Inc., Malibu, CA. AOS Award Number 19660439. OrchidPro lacks usable information. Published in Register of Awards Suppl. VI 983, and in AOS Bulletin 36(3):238 (March, 1967).

November 14, 1966, Regional Monthly Judging, Los Angeles, CA:

Cattleya Mary Ann Barnett 'Exquisita' AM/AOS 87 points, exhibited by Mr. and Mrs. P. G. Barnett, Newport Beach, CA. AOS Award Number 19660498. OrchidPro lacks usable information. Published in Register of Awards Suppl. VI 994, and in AOS Bulletin 36(3):240 (March, 1967). This cultivar was awarded an FCC/AOS at Long Beach AOS judging when exhibited by the Barnett's on June 23, 1980. We found no published photos before that date, so it appears that all of the published photos are from the FCC award.


Lc. Dee Dee 'Royal Gold' AM/AOS 80 points, exhibited by Mr. and Mrs. P. G. Barnett, Newport Beach, CA. AOS Award Number 19660499. OrchidPro lacks usable information. Published in Register of Awards Suppl. VI 994, and in AOS Bulletin 36(3):240 (March, 1967). Now correctly a Cattleya.


Cattleya Dubiosa 'Scully' HCC/AOS 75 points, exhibited by Mr. and Mrs. Herbert W. Crothers, Vista, CA. AOS Award Number 19660500. OrchidPro (as Cattleya Dubiosa (1890)) lacks usable information. Published in Register of Awards Suppl. VI 994, and in AOS Bulletin 36(3):240 (March, 1967). Now correctly Cattleya Dubiosa (1890). It seems likely that it is the same cultivar sometimes cited as 'Scully's' or 'Scullys'. There are a number of published photos, but we were unable to identify any of them as the likely award photo.


Phalaenopsis Elisa 'Malibu' HCC/AOS 76 points, exhibited by Arthur Freed Orchids, Inc., Malibu, CA. AOS Award Number 19660501. OrchidPro lacks usable information. Published in Register of Awards Suppl. VI 995, and in AOS Bulletin 36(3):241 (March, 1967).


Cattleya Sunburst (1936) 'Scarlet Pimpernel' HCC/AOS, from OrchidWiz

Slc. Sunburst 'Scarlet Pimpernel' HCC/AOS 75 points, exhibited by Arthur Freed Orchids, Inc., Malibu, CA. AOS Award Number 19660502. OrchidPro (as Slc. Sunburst (1936)) lacks usable information. Published in Register of Awards Suppl. VI 995, and in AOS Bulletin 36(3):241 (March, 1967). Now correctly Cattleya Sunburst (1936), and its parentage is now correctly Cattleya Sunburst (1927) × Cattleya coccinea. We believe the photo of this cultivar in OrchidWiz is the award photo, image #192835, attributed to Plato Peter Matthews.


Laelia gouldiana 'Maxine' CCM/AOS 84 points, exhibited by Richard B. Murrow, Los Angeles, CA. AOS Award Number 19660503. OrchidPro (as Laelia × gouldiana) lacks usable information. Published in Register of Awards Suppl. VI 995, and in AOS Bulletin 36(3):241 (March, 1967). There is no information in the award description to suggest why OrchidPro shows Laelia × gouldiana, designating a natural hybrid, while the original award shows Laelia gouldiana, designating a recognized species. Carl Withner (The Cattleyas and Their Relatives. Volume II: The Laelias, 1990, pp. 79-81) reports that it was Reichenbach who first proposed that gouldiana might be a natural hybrid between L. anceps and L. autumnalis (other theories at the time held that it was either a distinct species, or else a variety of L. autumnalis). However, when Sir George Holford made this hybrid in cultivation, under the name Laelia Alexanderae, it proved to be different from the wild-collected gouldiana. We are unaware of any more recent research that would imply a natural hybrid origin for gouldiana. The present award is very likely for a division of a plant collected in nature, as there is apparently almost no variation in such plants, and therefore little reason to attempt line breeding.
