Awarded today. Just my 2nd award and first AM. I decided to have it judged after Mick (QuietAustralian) pointed out to me recently that gratrixianum 'Ratcliffe' received an AM award last year. Now I have the 'Ratcliffe' clone and it is not a patch on 'Geyserland'. If that was worth an AM then the 'Geyserland' clone was worth an AM minimum I thought; and so it proved to be. You can see the 2 clones in the bottom photo (old photo). Geyserland is the real tall clone, which is one of its great attributes along with the dorsal.
