Zoia I agree about Stout medalist is billed as representing finest specimen in multiple regions.
Adding 2 cents here. Am halfway thru garden judge training. Somehow reminds me of election inspector training. Thankless necessary valuable work. Though AHS garden judge training is much more interesting with valuable information I can already see lotsa mileage on vehicle necessary...unpaid...and I live far away from all yall crazy daylily folks' gardens.
It would be difficult, but absolutely necessary, to judge the plant alone keeping feelings about the hybridizer at bay. However, who among us can honestly do that?
