Unfortunately, a lot of judges must need retraining on that point system, because quite a number of recent Dykes winners seem to be lacking good form in the standards. And that's supposed to be 10 points! Color is supposed to be only 5 points. And yet, color innovations have been taking the Dykes, despite poor form in the standards.
I love the award system, and many of the awarded cultivars are wonderful, but for the very highest awards, I am thinking that too many of the judges must be letting color carry them away.
