Ah, now there is a tale of judging error... *grin*

That little guy is the best besseae I've ever seen, at least in person, bar none. And I've seen hundreds if not thousands. I'm sure there are bigger ones (that one is about 8.5-9 cm if I recall, I didn't measure it), but better form? I doubt it. Team passed on it without comment, as far as I know they didn't even bother to do any research. A month later I took two more to judging, got a different team, and an 88pt AM on one and 80 on the other. Two judges scored the 88pt at FCC level, and the probationary on the team was the limiting factor. On that scale, the passed plant should have gotten at least 93pts... *grin* Oh well.

But, not really a problem. I know it is good, don't need to spend 40 bucks on it. And this way it won't die, the awarded ones always die, right?
