Hi Paul With
regards to judging Reflex's. Back in the 1980's we had one called Joyce
Stevenson 24b R that would sometimes come like a Wingfield. We never had
problems with that as exhibitors or judges. It would seem to me that if
you are a Judge then you must abide by ALL THE RULES and not just the ones
you want to. The trouble is it has always gone on by people who think they
know better. You are quite right in wanting to have the rules made clear
and your examples MUST BE TAKEN ON BOARD BY THE NCS. We want to encourage
more people to SHOW and NEED THE WINGFIELD FAMILY on the SHOWBENCH. So I
call on our Chairman and his Show Committee to PUT THINGS RIGHT NOW. My
record as a JUDGE is second to none and speaks for it's self. Regards John
Lawrie. |

Hi Paul My
thoughts on Judging.I have seen time & again John Wingfield and sports
with v shaped triangular form win major honours also on over &
under-developed centres. Then we come dressing out character which the one
who can dress best win The dressing Late Singles out of character is one
that wants re-addressing. Harry Lawson |

Subject:
Judging Rules for Reflexed Hi Paul, I have to disagree with Andy on this
one; this variety is most likely the most widely grown in the UK, to lose
this because it has a natural tendency to form a triangular shape would be
foolish. Grown well it falls within the range that you show as modern day
form and should be accepted, Yes the rules should be changed to account
for current form variants but the key to me is that judges should have the
knowledge of what is the optimum for the variety and down point
accordingly. If the form is not acceptable it should not be registered.

Basically if growers can't get John Wingfield to be the shape of the left
hand bloom in your series, they should be penalised for form and size. The
more you more to the right in the series the heavier the deductions should
be. Other varieties are available which do come this shape. Grow them
instead! |

Paul. I would
much prefer to let my blooms develop untill the centres are smaller
because I get bigger blooms with more depth to them. Unfortunatly with
Wingfields it does tend to make them triangular. As a judge you would have
to balance the lack of size, Depth, and young centres against the
triangular shape. My personal oppinion is that it is always more dificult
to get flowers fully developed and still fresh at the bottom, therefore
these are the ones I prefer. |

Hi Paul, Have
enjoyed visiting your website, keep it up. One suggestion I do have
,involves a great deal of work though,would be to list rooting and
stopping date for more recent cultivars,it would help the less experienced
growers to get their timing right. Thanks for visit |

Just to say
Paul how well the site is looking after the update in December last year.
It is also invaluable to some of the novices in my area,who have said to
me that they have found the cultural pages so easy to understand to what
they have read in most NCS publications. I personally believe that this
could be another way forward in encouraging new growers into our hobby, We
certainley need them! well done paul. Darran. |
