nk.net: I have a Paphiopedilum F. C. Puddle 'Bodnant' FCC/RHS (Actaeus x Astarte) division about to come into bloom. I noticed it was awarded an FCC from the RHS but I don't seem to find any AOS awards for this or any F. C. Puddle. Why is this? Are the RHS awards easier to get than an AOS award? Or was this awarded a long long time ago? Good growing, Gene Gene, That is a classic plant, and was awarded years ago. It is still a goody to have I'm sure. As for the award by AOS, it could be for several reasons that it was not granted an AOS award, but this is not because the RHS has lower standards. I think most of us regard the RHS (and JOS and other organizations) as having equal standards. And, let's not let AOS get too high on the horse either. I've spoken to commercial growers who have expressed wonder why some plants ever got an AOS award. One even cynically remarked that it was because of judges giving awards to their friends' plants! ...But that was probably sour grapes talking, no?
