Among my awarded plants I have four which mean a great deal: A CHM on Onc flexuosum b__Tridentb__, a species which has been in cultivation for over 100 years, and used in hybridization numerous times. Why it had never been shown at any judging is a mystery, but I received the award. Wilford Nepune
It probably has. I was showing some plants 25 years ago and the judges refused to award them. In one case they took the plant the whole way out of the pot "to prove I did not grow it" although they gave it a trophy they would not give the CBR or any AOS award (it killed the plant). In another case on they said they had nothing to judge it against. I must say the judging in this area has approved in the last few years but there is still plants out there this has happened to.
