These are the photos representing the winners of the Seedling of the Year [SOTY] & Hibiscus of the Year [HOTY], which is the top 5 places in the competition, and the runners up, the bloom winning the most votes is listed first, and then the next points down the list, as chosen by the six judges from the 14 entries, which the members chose from all of the finalists in the Seedling competitions for 2004.The top 5 will now go into the HOTY for 2004 and be grown for 3 years, at nominated evaluation stations. The seedling which won 5th place has been withdrawn as the hybridiser does not think it is worthy of being included in the IHS HOTY program so the winner of the 6th place moves up into the HOTY competition.
