Cycnoches Jean E. Monnier awards?
 

I have a question for those of you who have access to Awards Quarterly.
Last week at the local society meeting I had a beautiful Cycnoches Jean E.
Monnier (barthiorum x cooperi) in bloom. Actually, I have two that are sibs
from the same flask. The second one will bloom next week.

The judges at the meeting said I should bring it to judging if it blooms at
the right time. The first one won't last until the next judging but the
second plant may be at peak for the next local judging. The first one is
very dark, so dark you can barely make out the spots on the flowers. It has
28 flowers on one long inflorescences. The second one bloomed lighter last
year but seems very dark this year. It has 30 buds.

Can someone tell me if this has been awarded before? What was the flower
count and size? I hate to waste a whole Saturday going to judging with one
plant.

Thanks for your help.
