That's interesting, Julie. I didn't know that. I didn't know the Stout award was intended for plants that were popular everywhere, either. I thought that's what's the Lennington award was supposed to reward.
It seems if 60-70% of the judges were from the North, just saying for example, that plants that only do well in the North would have a better chance than if the voting were balanced by region, regardless of the number of judges. Is it possible that a second reason is an imbalance what regions the voters are from?
Why is this reminding me of the US Electoral College?
