Re: SPEC-X

 

I actually doubt that that happens often. without the class being interpreted broadly the top awards would often go empty because of lack of competition. there have been years skipped because of not enough competitors.

The problem  I have is where iris are placed in this class, that could 
very well compete in another class. There have been a number of 
occasions where second or third generation plants that easily meet 
criteria for another class are placed in Spec-x.  Then what happens is 
that they beat out  stuff that are truly worthy of an award that are  
new innovations, and which meet spirit of the class. Partly on basis of 
wide distribution, and perhaps being grown by judges that grow no other 
Spec-x  plants.
