Awarded plant title holders?
 
If a plant at a show receives an AM, FCC etc, does that mean that it is only that particular plant has been awarded or does it mean that mericlones of that plant hold the title too?

Mericlones hold that title also.

OK, thank you for that. ;)

Also any divisions, whether as a multi-bulb division or a Back Bulb sprouting.

While both responses are correct, where we can get into trouble is in the mutations in cloning that occasionally come up. Some will say that being a clone of the original, awarded plant, it should carry the award. Others, noting that it is not a perfect clone, say it is a different cultivar.

Also, so that folks don't generalize, plant/flower awards (FCC/AM/HCC/AQ) do carry on, cultural awards (CCM, CCE) are to the grower, not the plant, so don't.

OK, thank you, Ray.

Good point made by Ray. This gets even more apparent in cloning peloric Cymbidiums when obvious changes occur or when a stable peloric flower occurs from a routine cloning of a non-peloric flower.
