The SDAF and O&O Organizing Committee are very pleased to announce the debut of our O&O offspring,  Blooms & Bulbs. This segment will regularly feature two nominations in the O&O website and newsletter - one Bloom (Orchid) and one Bulb (Onion) plucked from the current crop of nominations, all year round. Selected Blooms & Bulbs may be top contenders for the year's big awards, be generating lots of discussion on the website, or may simply be notable nominations worthy of highlighting. It's just another way to keep you apprised and in touch with the hothouse of topics of which the O&O conversation is comprised.
