For the 60th anniversary Council show we are bringing back the George Lewis trophy for “Best of Show”. George H. Lewis served as Descanso Gardens Superintendent for nearly 20 years until his retirement in 1990. George Lewis donated this perpetual trophy to the Southern California Camellia Council which was awarded at Council shows beginning in 1987. The trophy is a 14” diameter sterling silver bowl on a wooden base. The base reads like a who’s who of Southern California Camellia hobbyists with an engraved name plate for each exhibitor who won “Best of Show” for their Blooms from 1987-2004.
