Statistics 2006

This page shows the most popular disbud cultivars at the Early shows in Scotland. It highlights the popularity of the medium reflex section and in particular the John Wingfield family.

In the show reports this year there are about 300 individual vases that are mentioned. A count has been made for each individual cultivar to determine which are the most popular cultivars in each section and which are most popular overall.  The statistics are for disbud cultivars only. While this is not entirely accurate because of the vases/cultivars that were not mentioned in reports, the conclusions should be indicative of which cultivars are most frequently exhibited.
