OMG! I'm Just Incredulous!

Today was our OS show and sale. AOS & ribbon judging was this morning. I had six plants entered into the amateur in home grower class, and all six won a blue ribbon. Pretty exciting stuff. I couldn't stop grinning. Then I also won the society best amateur display award. Also very exciting. Then as a society friend and I were walking around looking at displays I asked him why there were Post-It Notes stuck to some of the display cards. He said those were the plants that had been nominated by one of the AOS judges to be awarded. So I slink by my section again and I almost pooped my pants....there is a post it note stuck to my big lavendar Phal. They took it to the table, and looked at it for a few minutes, and then took it back. It was not awarded (I would be typing this from the ER if it had), but I never in a million years would have thought ANY plant of mine was good enough to even be considered. I still can't believe it!
