Judging of specimen plants

[tbaenziger]

Hi Rhonda, Ted here. I agree with you about not being able to award a flower from a picture (digital or otherwise), but Des, we also have to judge texture and substance, as well as arrangement and color in natural light. None of these show up in a photograph. Why does a flower bloom whilst the judging group is away? The same reason why carrying an umbrell means it will not rain.
