And look at how many FCCs Paph rothschildianum has. I think someone
mentioned that some judges think a plant has 'too many' awards and therefore
no longer consider a plant judging. Well, obviously not. Same could be
said for Paph armeniacum.

Not saying it is true with either of these plants...
Sometimes the original awards and what is awarded today is so
different the originals would now be considered not worth looking
at. So as judges we need to compare and not count.

There is the argument that awards raise the price in a Paph... is
it fair to not raise the price for one competitor after you did
it for another?

But if every other plant has an award has the award lost its
power?

Still best to pick your own perfect bloom.
