The HC is strictly a garden award and cannot be determined by judges 
at a show. But,I would say quite a large percentage of HM's and AM's 
are awarded on show performance by those judges who come to shows and 
do not visit gardens.  How many judges were in your garden last 
spring and how many returned to see the clump later as it peaked or  
declined?

    Most of the 'garden judged' HM's and AM's are determined at AIS 
conventions and regionals.  Would more judges be apt to attend a 
convention, regional or a show?  I would think that probably 90% of 
the active judges in AIS would be involved in at least one show 
during the bloom season. (Judges are supposed to enter shows).I 
do not think a convention or regional would attract 90% of the judges 
in AIS or a region.

   Yes, HM's, AM's, and medalists are supposed to be based on garden 
judging, but in reality, are they?
