Judges can only judge what's brought to the show…

The plant is superb but is it the best that can be done? I guess no. I wonder what else was on display…
 
Sorry all, I kind of lost interest after I was evicted from the venue for a failed registration while I was trying to take pictures to post here.
Regarding the judgement, as has already been pointed out, the judges can only judge what has been submitted, also it is worth noting that the majority of judges (by a huge margin) were from countries other than South Africa, so the decision on what should be Grand Champion was international in all senses.
 
For a straight Lycaste that would be an unbelievable display. The blooms are pretty big.

Unfortunately it isn't a straight Lycaste species, not even a straight Lycaste hybrid.

Pretty? yes, but not for the G.C. award at WOC.
