VISITORS to the Seville Hall on 19 and 20 October discovered a sensory extravaganza with hundreds of orchids filling the hall with colour and perfume.
The 29th Yarra Valley Orchid Society Show has been judged the best ever by members including president Henk Morren and Three Bridges orchid growers Clive and Agi Halls who took out three of the nine Champion awards.
“As far as flowers and the quality of the flowers goes, it was excellent,” said Mr Morren and on top of that it was a beautiful weekend to be out and about.
Mr Halls said the show had a long history and was one orchid enthusiasts want to be part of.
“It has always been a high quality show and to win really means you have done well,” Mr Halls said.
Most of the exhibitors created their displays around this year’s theme of Occupations providing a glimpse into the diversity of people for whom growing orchids is a passion.
For the Hallses, it was elementary – as owners of Mount Beenak Orchids, orchids are their passion, and their occupation.
