Orchids of the Year 2011 will be announced late 2012

ORCHIDS OF THE YEAR 2010

All the nominated orchids are presented in the August 2011 issue of Orchids Australia for readers to appreciate.  The winners of the four categories were published in the December 2011 issue of Orchids Australia, with  comments from the owners of the winning plants.

Each year the seven Regional Panels are invited to submit their nominations from the orchids judged in that Region during the Calendar Year.  In 2010 judges awarded 185 orchids (2009 179).
