I assume you mean AOS judging. Local shows have their own criteria for ribbon
judging.
Depends on whether the plant is a species or hybrid. If it is a species and
wins an award, the owner is required to have it officially identified by an
accepted taxonomist, and the award is published under the current correct name.
If it is a hybrid, he can enter it as a Blc. if that's all he knows. It is the
grex name that's important. If the plant is awarded, hopefully it will be
published under the current genus name.
