Great!

Congratulations. Great display. Love the pastel colour in particular.

I don't understand how you can get a cultural award with only 3 spikes though.

 

[cattmad]

[Justin]

Omg please divide it and send me a piece.

 

[AdamD]

Awesome. Great achievement indeed

 

[abax]

Not what I expected to see at all and I'm very impressed.
I love the light, subtle coloring.

Thanks everyone!

My personal opinion is that this was not ready for a cultural award. I would have preferred to grow it for 2 more years and exhibit it with 15 spikes instead of 3.

I probably won't be dividing it for a few years yet. There's already a wait list for divisions *oy*
I'm most impressed with how HUGE the flowers are now that it's a full adult. The spread has grown by 2.5cm since last time.

There is no doubt you were going to get a cultural award with this plant and sooner rather than later. You are growing it to perfection and it is obviously a good clumper. The judges were just a bit premature. I think you need 7 or 8 spikes before you can start considering cultural awards, especially for a cross such as this. Otherwise you will be handing out cultural awards like confetti.

I look forward to seeing it with 15 spikes. Now that will be a show and truly award worthy.

very very nice!
Love the pale colours.
Agree that the cultural award is premature but maybe this is because you do not see many of these pale multiflorals around,

I also love the pastel shade. What are the parents?
I assume it wasn't staked like that for the award?

I think part of it is that the plant is truly enormous with very clean foliage. It's 100cm in every direction and the spikes are 80cm tall.

I had no choice about the stakes, though I replaced the clips with clear tape.
