Awarded today at our Toronto judging center with 77 points. Big wide floppy petals, thus the moniker. The extra tissue lowered score.

Love the colours and shape!
Leslie, this one looks excellent with its big wide floppy petals. 
Congrats with the award! Although size for once seemed to detract!

Ah, I thought, it was what makes the petals larger, and that the judges didn't care for that! Silly me
Yes you are correct. That antenna lol
Very beautiful 
Just took some more pics today to show that extra appendage

It just looks like jewellery, ear rings or such... I wonder, whether the judges were puritans of some sorts (no matter whether they are of evangelical, jewish or islamic extraction.....puritans tend to hate everything, that are either fun or deviates from the norm!)?Just took some more pics today to show that extra appendage
I’m actually shocked they awarded it despite two very glaring misgivings of the plant:
1. the antenna or ‘earrings’
2. the inflorescence was half the normal height
So it was lucky it’s ‘Big Arms’ won them over lol.
