All,

I have updated the Cincinnati Judging Centers website with a bunch of new award images. Lots of odd stuff recently. Enjoy.

nice pics. ... there does seem to be a trend with nearly the same people winning the awards. is it there are only a few really good growers or only a few who grow things other than hybrids catts and phals from box stores so they get all the awards?

It is more of there being a few fabulous growers who always bring well grown plants. Lots of other equally fabulous growers who simply dont bring plants as often.

Yes, indeed some nice stuff there. I love that specimen Ang. germinyanum!

Thanx for posting the link. A lot of people dont want to go thru the hassle of packing and carrying to a judging or else we'd see more plants of this quality.

I think it's partly because it's mostly the same people who bring plants to judging. Why is that? Several reasons:
- being some distance from a judging center
- having a plant you think is worthy of judging being in prime bloom at the time the judges convene (usually once a month, at least around here)
- having other obligations that interfere with that once a month opportunity
