Fair Orchids

+1 973-495-4863

The Genesee Region Orchid Society's 50th anniversary show (April 17-19, 2026) in Rochester, NY, was well attended.  Despite feeling that I had little to show in my display, I managed to not only fill the display table, but also collected 4 'Best in Show' recognitions:

Cattleya:          C. intermedia, var. orlata 'Rio' AM/AOS

species:            C. intermedia, var. orlata 'Rio' AM/AOS

Dendrobium:  Den. anosmum 'Fair Orchids'

Cymbidium:    Ansellia africana (yes, it belongs in Cymbidium family)

Regional Orchid Shows

I currently participate in regional shows up to 5-6 hour driving distance from my nursery in NJ.  In the past, this has been as far West as Pittsburgh & Rochester, NY.  In the Northeast as far as Cape Cod & New Hampshire.  Participation in any show is to some extent depending upon who else is invited as a vendor (I do not approve of shows mixing retail & wholesale vendors).  

The complete list of past shows was lost with my old web site, so this list commences with the 2025 calendar year:
