This is a very nice thread for discussion about award labels associated with cultivar names.
My orchid tags don't contain award labels that might be linked to the cultivar. Although, I do keep track of history information in my mind about certain orchids.
Although, I assumed all along that a cultivar plant (clone or division or original) will take on the highest award it ever achieved - not necessarily the actual plant itself, but just the cultivar. It's like a way of giving credit or something from that cultivar's achievements in a plant competition. Or for a nice exta information - for attracting buyers from a commercial/business point of view too.
MFN does have a good point there! So will be interesting to see how the award naming actually works. My previous assumptions could be wrong! They were just assumption. Nice post MFN.
