GENERAL SHOW RULES
1. The North American
Clivia Society endeavors to educate the public regarding the genus Clivia. The
emphases of this show are the horticultural aspects of Clivia. Presentation
will play the essential part in breaking any ties that might occur.
2. There is no charge for exhibiting.
3. All entries
will be received between the hours
of
4.
Judging will
begin promptly at
5. Show
officials will exercise all possible precautions for protecting exhibits but
neither they, nor the Huntington, will
be responsible for any loss or damage that may occur. All personal property (e.g.: containers and
accessories) should be marked with the name of the exhibitor (Entries should be
marked on the bottom of the pot.)
6. Every entry must have an accompanying entry tag in
order to be judged. Names, numbers or
any other marks identifying the exhibitor are not permitted on the visible
portion of the entry tag, pot or plant tag.
7.
Classification of entries in their respective sections and groups is at
the discretion of the exhibitor. A
Classification Chairperson will be available for assistance. Only the Show Chairperson
or his authorized representative has the authority to re-classify an
entry. However, at the authorization of
the Show Chairperson, the panel of judges has the right to reclassify entries
to other sections or groups as deemed appropriate. The judges panel must make sure that entry
tags are corrected for reclassified entries.
8. Only the exhibitor, Placement Chairperson, Stewards and
Show Chairperson will be permitted to physically move any of the entries.
9. Any exhibitor attempting to
influence any judge in any way shall have all of his or her entries
disqualified.

HORTICULTURAL RULES
1. Exhibition is open to all. Entries
must have been grown (for at least 6 months), groomed, and entered by the
exhibitors (or their representatives). Materials exhibited in Category A Division 24 (Floral Arrangements) are exempt from this
rule.
2. All entries in Category A Division 1 thru 22 (Blooming Plants) must have scapes
still attached to the original plant. Peduncles (scapes) severed from the plant
may be entered as Umbels in Division 23. Pedicels severed from the plant may be
entered as Flowers in Division 23.
3. Grooming is the responsibility of
the exhibitors (or their representatives). A grooming station will be available
during entry; however, it is recommended that all major grooming be performed
in advance. Fruits may be covered with a
sleeve, netting or other device for their protection which will not result in
scoring deductions by the panel of Judges.
4. Artificial enhancement of the
appearance (excessive trimming, leaf waxes, dyes, etc) is undesirable and may
result in significant point deductions or disqualification. Materials exhibited
in Category A Division 24 (Floral Arrangements) are
exempt from this rule.
5. Plants exhibiting viral infection or
active insect infestations shall be disqualified and removed from the show
area.

is comprised of two competitive Categories:
1. Blooming Plants

HORTICULTURAL SCALE OF POINTS
Condition and Plant Balance: (up to 20 points each)
1)
The
plant base (trunk) should have no brown edges or spaces. Leaves should be free of brown
spots and not chlorotic.
2)
There
should be a pleasing visual balance between inflorescence, peduncle, foliage
and container (the plant should be growing straight upright in the pot.) The
peduncle (scape) must be sufficiently strong and upright to support the umbel
without staking. For cut peduncles (scapes), emphasis will be placed on the
overall balance of the peduncle (scape) and its strength and ability to support
the umbel.
Foliage Qualities: (up to 5 points each)
1)
Brightness refers to the degree of
light reflecting from surface of the leaves.
2)
Smoothness refers to the surface of
leaves. It is clearly seen with a magnifying glass.
3)
Rigidity refers to the bending strength
of the whole leaf (longitudinal strength).
4)
Thickness refers to a consistency of the
thickness across the leaf (non-longitudinal strength).
5)
Veins refer to the vascular structure
of the leaves.
6)
Color
or colors should be clear and evenly distributed within their appropriate
zones, according to their classification.
7)
Leaf Shape refers to the ratio of
length to width.
8)
Leaf arrangement refers to the symmetry and even
distribution of the leaves.
9)
Base shape refers to the symmetry plant base.
10)
Leaf tips refer to uniformity at the
ends of the leaves.
Umbel Symmetry: (up to 5 points each)
1)
The
umbel should be bilaterally symmetrical (i.e., no pedicel irregularities) when
viewed from all sides. For the pendulous
species a slight asymmetry is allowed, but this is not desirable for C. miniata and inter-specific hybrids.
2)
Umbel
should be well-filled but not overcrowded.
3)
Flowers
should be evenly distributed (i.e., no gaps or valleys)
4)
At
least 50% of the umbel should be fully opened with no more than 2 spent flowers.
10
Flower Form and Texture: (up to 5 points each)
1)
There
should be consistent fenestration (spacing between the tepals)
within the flowers.
2)
There
should be consistency of flower form (i.e., no flower mutations) within the
entire umbel.
3)
Tepals should be bilaterally symmetrical.
4)
Tepals should have a smooth surface (unless otherwise specified by
their classification).
Flower Color and Patterning: (up to 5 points each)
1)
The
color or colors should be clear.
2)
The
color or colors should be evenly distributed or gradated within their
appropriate zones, according to their classification.
Grooming and Presentation: (up to 1 point each)
Note: NACS
places the importance on the horticultural qualities of Clivia rather than on
the grooming and presentation.
1)
All
plant parts should be undamaged. Allowances should be made for transport
damage.
2)
All
plant parts should be clean and free of pests.
3)
Bracts
should not be removed.
4) &
