Last week I showed you guys our awarded Phrag. Beauport. At the same show they also awarded our Phal. schilleriana purpurea 'Pink Princess' HCC/AOS. This is a tetraploid form of shilleriana. We have taken other plants to shows in the past, but they always thought they were hybrids and would not award them, so I am glad they finally did award one. Each individual flower is 9.5 to 10 cm across.This brings me to a question, do you think when they judge plants that there should be different categories for 4N (tetraploid) versus 2N (diploid plants)? Most diploid schilleriana flowers will not get bigger than 5 to 6 cm, so it will be hard to compare a diploid to a tetraploid flower. Now that this plant has been awarded with close to 10 cm flowers, it will be hard for a diploid plant to get an award (if they base it on flower size).Robert
