That was my thought too, the Dutch always grow a cluster in a pot to make them more 'saleable' but there's the very slight possibility of it coming from a damaged seedling. Without taking it out of the pot it's not possible to tell but it's almost certainly a cluster of seed-grown plants. Ideally, when judging I'd like the plant not to be in the first three then it can be comfortably ignored. If I'd been judging with Tony - we did one of the National Shows together - I think we'd both have agreed a 'NAS' on the card.
