| | SDSUniverse | Library's Exhibit Wins Awards at Local Orchid Show |
 | | The Reginald S. David Orchid Collection was established in 1972 with the donation by Reginald Davis of 2,000 volumes of books and periodicals on the growing, classification, and description of orchids from around the world. |
 | | At the orchid show, the library had four display cases of materials on exhibit, including some stunning older publications, such as two volumes of The Orchid Album (London, 1882-1897), one volume of Paxton’s Flower Garden (London, 1882), and On the Fertilization of Orchids, by Charles Darwin (Paris, 1870). |
 | | Orchid enthusiasts who missed the exhibit at the show are encouraged to stop by Special Collections to enjoy these beautiful, rare, and informative books and prints at their leisure. |
