"Heather Hill has been awarded a $2,000 scholarship from the Sarasota Orchid Society...
Each academic year, the Sarasota Orchid Society awards a scholarship to one student planning to major in the study of horticulture, floriculture or botany. Hill is pursuing a career in environmental science and conservation at Florida Gulf Coast University. She recently completed an internship with Marie Selby Botanical Gardens. While serving as an intern with the gardens, she was involved in the symbiotic orchid propagation of the endangered Oncidium ensatum, also referred to as the Florida dancing lady, in Everglades National Park. Oncidium ensatum is unusual in that it grows as a terrestrial plant in the leaf humus. This orchid has a branched flower spike five feet or more tall covered with bright yellow flowers."
