Many public gardens and universities use robust plant records database systems, e.g. BG-BASE or IrisBG. However, most hobby orchid growers maintain notecards or spreadsheets to track their acquisition of orchid plants, ribbons and awards received, and cultural information. Below are links to a spreadsheet template in two formats to digitize your orchid collection record keeping. The spreadsheet has two tabs. The first tab is for orchid plants in your collection, and the second tab is for exhibit awards you have received.
- Orchid Collection Records (Apple Numbers format)
- Orchid Collection Records (Microsoft Excel format)
