Iris,
No, that is not correct. SLC Anzac 'Kelly' was
awarded an AM/AOS in Oakland, CA on October 15, 1963. It was from a selfing of
SLC Anzac, presumably from the 'Orchidhurst' clone, although it is not
stated.
In doing a little more research on this topic I
find that the RHS Index to the Orchid Review is incomplete, as there was another
award, to SLC Anzac 'Lutetia' FCC/RHS on May 20, 1919. In going back and reading
the original Orchid Review announcement of awards I find that the first award
(1917) listed the parentage as Scl Marathon X C. dowiana. All subsequent awards
list Lc Dominiana X Scl Marathon. So just to check I went to the
1921-1923 supplement to Sander's List of Orchid Hybrids and it lists the
later as parents. So when it was awarded in 1917 the parentage was improperly
indicated.

According to Wildcatt, Anzac doesn't have any AOS awards. Is that correct? Yet, when I started growing orchids in the 70's, Anzac was still highly regarded & sought after, and was being used in hybridizing right & left. Iris
