Follow these rules

At the April, 2003 meeting, the following rules were adopted for the Plant-of the-Month (POM) competition: A maximum of three plants may be entered in each category (cactus and succulent). There will be three classes for entrants: advanced (blue tag), intermediate (pink tag) and beginner (yellow tag). Advanced and intermediate entrants must have had the plant in their possession for at least six months, beginners for three months. Entrants will receive 8 points for first place, 6 points for second place, 4 points for third place, 2 points for show/honorable mention (HM) and 1 point for showing a plant that does not place. At the discretion of the judges there may be up to three third places in a category. If plants are not deemed to be of sufficient quality, no third place will be awarded. For an entrant to receive points, the entry tags must be collected by the person in charge of record keeping for POM. At the annual Christmas party, award plants will be presented to the ten highest cumulative point holders regardless of class.
