Society Awards
The Bermuda Orchid Society encourages members to bring their blooming orchids to every meeting. Plants are displayed, discussed and judged by knowledgeable members or visiting orchid growers. Each plant is awarded points, which are compiled over the year and annual trophies depending on the size of the grower’s collection are awarded at the end of each year.
Point System
The Point system was modified in October 2012. A sticker will be placed on the pot so growers can track their points.
- BLUE STICKER - First place and 50 points.
- ORANGE STICKER - Second place and 25 points.
- YELLOW STICKER - Third place and 15 points.
