This flower got a blue ribbon at my meeting last weekend. I was told to keep it cool and hope that it is still in bloom for the show in 2 weeks. I seriously doubt it will be, and the AOS judge who was helping with ribbon judging that day said that hopefully it would last just until after judging. I thought that was nice, but knowing the measurments of recently awarded besseaes, I seriously doubt they'd pull this one.

Still, it was noted how well proportioned the flower was. :)
 
Very nice flower on this one, and a blue ribbon too! That is quite a compliment from the judge, and why is it that bigger is always better, puts me in mind of that 'super size me' film for some reason.
 
Congrats Heather! Is it super bright red? I know the true color is very hard to capture on camera when it comes to red and orange. I've never sent our own besseae out for judging, mostly because there's never a show when I've got a bunch in bloom.
