In the AOC many judges consider peloricism to be a deformity, even peloricism that occurs naturally in species. For this reason very few peloric orchids are awarded in the AOC. In the AOS system peloricism is viewed as a variation in form, not as an undesirable deformity so peloric flowers have just as good a chance as any other flower of being awarded.
