Also, do any of these measurements refer to the plant or just the blossom?
Thanks

The charts with the measurements are for awarded plants and the sequence is per the Judging Handbook.
NS= natural spread
H= horizontal
V= vertical
DS= dorsal sepal
VS= ventral sepal
P= pouch
LS= lateral sepals
etc.....the sequence is natural spread horizontal, then vertical; dorsal sepal horizontal, then vertical; lateral sepals or ventral sepal width, then vertical; petals horizontal, then vertical; pouch or lip width, then length.
If you hit the top of each column it will re-organize each according to lowest to highest number in each column.
These measurements are just for the flowers. If the description is for a CHM or CBR then the size of the plant will also be indicated as well as a more scientific description of the plant and flowers.
If I missed something, please ask as I am doing this at work from memory.
