I just emailed the AOS judging committee and asked them. We'll see what
they say.

Thanks Steve, but I guess I worded the question wrong. Everyone considered
that kovachii and the others displayed that day to be a legal plants. What
I was asking about was plants that the US considers illegal but other
countries consider legal. For example, if a hangianum cross is displayed at
next years IPA in Taiwan, would AOS judges consider it?

Does any one know the answers to these?

When AOS judges in foreign countries are only plants legal in the US
considered?

This should answer that one:

"This species received its first American Orchid Society award at the Club
Peruana de Orquideas show in Lima, Peru in October 2003: Phragmipedium
kovachii 'Mem. Grimanesa Manrique', CHM/AOS (94 points)."
