Brought in the plant in my avatar photo for judging today and brought it home with an HCC! :clap: It's the first plant I've ever submitted to judging, so I was pleased that I was able to pick a winner and not drive all that way to just have it called cute 
Cute it is, but with very nice form and color, and spotting pattern I'll post more later, after I take some hopefully decent pictures of it from this year (last year's are in a thread here somewhere...) Here's a quick run-down of the stats though!
Three inflorecences - 2 open flowers and one bud, NS horizontal 8cm, vertical 6.5, dorsal 3.8 wide x 3.5 tall, so not the biggest (I have a sibbling of this plant that is bigger, but form and color saturation is not near as good), but I felt the form was nice enough to get consideration, so I'm happy to come away with a 77pt HCC after 10yrs of growing indoors on a limited budget! Got lots of compliments on it's culture too, so I was a happy camper! Will definitely have to try to make the drive out to judging more often, even if just to see the presentations and what others have brought in! It was an good day for a plant nerd My face is actually sore from talking more than usual and grinning like a fool, much like that smiley face LoL
