this looks so much flatter and more open in person. NS is 10.8cm. I see two more buds. Looks like it can be awardable. U be the judge.




without flash:

 
Beautiful color. If you want to get it awarded it is may be better to do sooner rather than later?
 
Although it's of a decent size, the dorsal isn't flat and the one petal is a bit twisted, so I doubt it's awardable. But, maybe on it's next blooming. There hasn't been an award on this hybrid since 2003 which was a CCM...
Here are the most recent HCC(75 pts.) details:

And here are the specs. for a 83 pt. AM. Again, no recent awarded AM's.

The color and super wide synsepal are its strong points. The dorsal is pinchy and asymmetric and the petals are asymmetric, so it'll likely get knocked for form (which is a lot of points). The next flowers will likely be different/better. Your best bet is to take it in for judging- it wont' get any awards sitting at home!!! :)
