Loved that Tony.
Looks like you have a good bunch of growers around you.
Notice the club likes it single bloom class ;) personally I liked to win the 5 in a vase class.
I always felt I had achieved something by getting five, which was not always easy.
Sods law said you can get four 'good uns' for a five class or two for the three class getting that extra one was the trick!
Another reason I liked the 'fives' was; this allowed me to change my mind at the show and divide them to suit a three or single bloom class if needs be!
How did you go on yourself?
Good day I hope!
I achieved a 2nd in one class!! ;D ;D
it was a great show, we have some great growers in the society, but not enough young ones getting involved. :(
We had our local show last Saturday, almost 300 vases staged with some really good quality flowers. Amongst that competition I was pleased with 8 1st prize cards 7 2nds and 5 3rds and one trophy. We do not give prize money as we feel it invites the wrong exhibitor. We get exhibitors from a 40 mile area. It has been such a hard season to get the flowers out. I have onr more show at Wincheap on Thursday.<div><embed src="http://widget-a6.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=3314649325789260710&site=widget-a6.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=3314649325789260710&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-a6.slide.com/p1/3314649325789260710/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=3314649325789260710&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-a6.slide.com/p2/3314649325789260710/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=3314649325789260710&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-a6.slide.com/p4/3314649325789260710/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div>

It works ok for me. Lovely flowers ;D
I seem to be unable to put slide show as I used to be able to but I think this link should work.I have added to pictures of vases I did at previous shows that include larger numbers of blooms in vases

Laurie that's working fine, and what a wonderful display! :)
very nice display, laurie. some of the doubles were stunning! were all of the last few vases of 9 blooms yours?
Yes Tony Ann's Blush is one I raised from seed together with Ann's Cream and Ann's White. I hope to do a vase of 5 Ann's White at Wincheap on Thursday
PS my wife's name is Ann.

This is Ann's Blush.
I did a vase of 5 Ann's cream instead of Ann's White and got Best exhibit in show so well pleased.

The title of this thread has just reminded me that it's Harrogate Spring Flower show this weekend. Anybody going?
Quoteit's Harrogate Spring Flower show this weekend. Anybody going?
Yes I am going Friday!
Trouble is the people we normally go with are stranded in Egypt due to the volcano problem.
Fingers crossed that they get back in time!
