One of the major attractions at our meetings, for both beginners and advanced growers, is the Show Table. Each month members bring their blooming orchids for display on the Show Table.

We encourage all members to bring in your blooming orchids for display on our Show Table. It’s a chance to see a wide variety of species and hybrids, to hear others comment on culture, and to ask questions about specific plants.

The Show Table provides members with:

• Exposure to a broader range of genera and species than they are likely to come across.
• The opportunity to learn about growing methods that other members use.
• A chance to show what they have accomplished, regardless of experience and growing conditions, and to be recognized for their efforts.

Specimens on display are “ribbon judged” by a team of members (chosen by the Show Table Chairperson). 

At the September meeting, the Hobbyist who has accumulated the highest number of points from the preceding year “graduates” to the advanced group. The Advanced Grower with the highest number of points for the preceding year “graduates” to the expert group.

Members like you do the judging! NHOS encourages all members to bring in your plants and to award as many ribbons as possible.
