Cool, thanks for the award description. Did you get it awarded?

Hi Eric, this wasn't my award. Exhibitor is Mr Coxwell, named after his wife 'Becky'. I got this plant (a division I believe) at Dallas Orchid Judging center auction in 2010. Plant was donated by AOS judge Judy Cook. She was from Atlanta Judging center - where this plant was awarded. When I get a plant that is awarded I like to look up award description, and copy and paste into my orchid database.
