Awarded concolors.

[quietaustralian]

At my local orchid meeting tonight I took the opportunity to search OrchidWiz for awarded concolors. There were 3 entries without pics that were huge blooms according to measurements, from memory greater than 86mm NS. Those 3 awards were from CSA. Is there a web based data base of awards from CSA?

AFAIK no there isn't. However if you email Ken Jacobsen via the CSA web page he may be able to help. He's also a member of the Peninsula Orchid Society and their web master may be able to direct you to him.

Hmm... That does sound like me. :viking:

Correction: I think the NS was between 91-96mm for those CSA awarded concolors.

Thankyou for the tip Kathy.

You have to see a picture to know if they are real concolor, longipetalum types, wenshanense or artificial hybrids too, the size does not mean much in awards, it has to be the genuine species as well.

Thats why I'm keen to look at the records. Three awards were 10mm wider than others that I've seen pics of and they were all CSA awards without pics.

, it has to be the genuine species as well.

AOS judges do their best but plenty of miss identified plants/hybrids have made it though to get awarded.

Also can't vouch for CSA, but distinguishing between varieties is even more hit and miss.

Can probably bring up a million examples, but two obvious are Phal.violacea/belina
Paph philipinnense and varieties.
