West Shore Orchid Show

Carol Panza, Chuck Oldenburg, Kathy Collins and Carolyn Bolton took plants from 7 growers to the West Shore show April 22, 2023 in Strongsville Ohio.  Set up began at 11 am and we were amazed that we were finished at 4:15 and had lots of time left over to shop the vendors.  We had a total of 68 orchids in the exhibit. Plants in the exhibit were from Carol Panza, Hossein Noorbakhsh. Raj Popet, Carolyn Bolton, Sheila Nathanson, Chuck Oldenburg and Phipps.  We did very well.  We won 11 awards including the AOS Show Trophy and a Silver Certificate.
