Cymbidiums. My hybrid, Award
This is an intermediate Cym, Waringah Nights "Dark Beauty" which is a cross of Jessie Blakiston x Warona. Bred and flowered by me and received an AD. I think you will see why.

Roy,
What reason did the judges give you for not giving it a point score?

The Judges gave it a points score for the AD ( can't remember what it was ) on color but they thought the shape wasn't up to Quality award standard. I didn't disagree.

Adam, I've never run the parentage back that far but I would think insigne would appear atleast 4 times. insigne will appear in nearly every cym cross atleast twice, probably more.

Roy,
That dark crimson color with the white picotee leaves me without questions as to why this guy was awarded. Congratulations! Well done on your breeding and cultural efforts!

Very nice. What was the flower count for the stem? And what was the width of the flower?
