Guess who can,t count — 6 blooms in the final selection.
Premier Div 8 A V X 27 8 W – YO Wilf
Hall.
This tazetta is also having an excellent season.
A little hard to colour code as the cup colour changes
towards marurity.
Prem 1 W – P Chanson John Hollever.
Always very neat, not a big flower, and does it measure
Trumpet ? ?.
Cheers John.
John,
Thanks for all the lovely photos. That ‘Melting Point’ looks really special
in it’s class.
Ref ‘Chanson’ you rightly point out that it is marginal – sometimes a
trumpet, sometimes a large cup, this can be related to the season or the
size of the overall flower. – such cases are always a dilemma and I favour
the approach of the late John Lea who registered such borderline flowers in
the division in which they “looked most comfortable”. An earlier prime
example is ‘Empress of Ireland’ – it mostly measures Div 2 – but would look
a bit ridiculous in that division. ‘Impeccable’ has won prizes in both
Divisions 1 & 2 and ‘Gold Convention’ was once subject to a lot of debate.
‘Cryptic’ from Jacksons is another that sways between Div. 1 & 2.(David
jackson and I have stories about that one). It’s an interesting subject to
debate.
