{Disarmed} Re: HYB: 03-87A Wearing Rubies x Braggadocio

Kent  --  If you have seedlings, I'd encourage you to exhibit even if you're doubtful whether the flowers are very good.  Reason:  You'll be able to talk to the judges or the clerks afterwards and learn what good points and bad points were noted about your entries.  When you get this feedback, it will provide some guidance for your future endeavors.  I can tell you that, in my own case, I threw away some seedlings a few years ago that I now know I should have kept, and would have if I had  submitted them to others' opinions.  --  Griff

Thanks for this explanation, Griff. Seems logical to me. Don't know yet if
I'll be exhibiting ....

> Kent -- The relevance of height within class has mostly to do with the
proportions of the plant, particularly the size of the flowers relative to the
height of the stalk. Lots of big flowers on a short stalk usually not too
appealing, for instance. Similarly, small flowers on a very tall and/or
widely-branched plant. Another important consideration is whether the blooms
stand up above the foliage. This tends to be more of a problem with the
standard dwarves than with TBs. Judges take these and LOTS more things into
consideration, as you will learn from exhibiting. -- Griff
