I've got about 150 plants, of which around half are paphs and phrags.
I have not submitted plants for judging but I have clerked a few shows.
I am still a bit mystified/confused about what makes one phrag a winner vis-a-vis another that does not even get culled for judging.
Can anyone provide a short list or top ten criteria for judging phrags?
I would like to use this info to more objectively evaluate plants before buying them, and to decide if the price matches award history. While awarded parents helps gauge potential of a sib or hybrid, I realize it is not necessarily a guarantee...
My interest includes the whole plant, flower, foilage, roots...
Care to comment and help build a buyers/collectors toolkit?
Thanks!
