The April issue is our annual awards issue featuring an article by Nile Dusdieker detailing the stunning winners of the 2017 year-end special awards and a recap by Carol Klonowki of the 52 First Class Certificate winners from 2018.  These along with 16 pages of new AOS awards and a beautifully illustrated article by Sergey and Elena Skoropad on the creation of small orchid displays, make the April issue especially stunning.
