Does anyone have photos of awarded Paph Honey or Helvetia. Did the AOS
ever offer the awards quarterly on a searchable disk?
Sorry, no pics of Honey or Helvetia. The AOS did make an award disk but
no pics on that either.

I wonder if there have been any of these awarded? I can't believe that
there in all these years none have been awarded. The reason I wanted to
know is I have a few coming into bloom and wanted to make some kind of
comparasion.
Is the award disk still available from the AOS?
