Loved that!!

Some of the reflex Chrysants would have been better for a bit more 'dressing' and as always the intermediate and incurve varieties looked superb!

I liked the singles.

The paper/card weights to keep the petals from flicking up brought back memories.

I was never a lover of the anemone and spoon varieties but there were some nice entries.

Some lovely veg there too, in particular 'the collections'

This was the type of exhibit I always thought of as seperating the men from the boys.

The floral art with its christmas theme was very good. I alway used to marvel at the ladies who did these.

All in all it look if it was a well turned out show, liked the fact that you photographed them before judging, this allowed me to choose 'my winners.

Once again Tony.........thanks I enjoyed that!

Thank you tonybloke for the ideas- I need to make a Christmas centerpiece for a ladies tea and that one with the red candles, apples etc. will be perfect if I can duplicate it.
