Meet Our “Guess the Number of Orchids” Winner at the Santa Barbara International Orchid Show!

We had an amazing time at the 77th Annual Santa Barbara International Orchid Show — and one of the highlights was our “Guess the Number of Orchids” contest! Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, made a guess, and shared their love of orchids with us.

We’re thrilled to announce this year’s winner: Dylan Le, a 14-year-old orchid enthusiast from Los Angeles, who guessed the exact number of orchids — 521 — right on the nose!

Although Dylan couldn’t make it in person (school calls!), his adorable sister, a fellow plant lover, came with their cousin to pick up the prize on his behalf. She charmed us all and represented her brother like a true champion.

Congratulations, Dylan! Your keen eye and orchid intuition have officially earned you some serious bragging rights — and a prize from all of us at Westerlay Orchids.

Stay tuned for more events, giveaways, and orchid inspiration throughout the year. And if you missed us at the show, don’t worry — there’s always next time you pass through Carpinteria.
