Local show time again

Here are a few things that I am hoping to pick up a few points with tomorrow.

Fuchsia Tom Thumb trained as a miniature standard.



Fuchsia Shelford



A Pelargonium trained as a small standard



Last but not least a couple of Begonia Rex's

 

What a beautiful Fuchsia (Shelford), I'd give it a 1st prize...good luck.

 

Good luck

 

Our village's show is on Monday, only entering 3 classes, was intending to go for a few more but it's been another poor year and some veg has simply not ripened yet.

 

Another show tomorrow. My Chrysanths are running a bit late but I managed to cut these two.

Cornetto



Billy Bell, ( it really needed another three or four days to fully open)



I usually do okay with this Pelargonium, its a variety called Alice Greenfield.



Another one which has done well for me over the years is this Fuchsia, Shelford



Waveny Sunrise



Next year I am cutting back on the amount of things I grow. So this is the last time I will be showing Begonias. The plates are to protect the blooms from the leaves.

Sceptre



Golden Hind

 

Dammit!, got beaten into 2nd place in one class.

The problem here is that's it's a ever aging group submitting ever decreasing entries, I wont go into detail but I despair about the future of our village show unless things change soon.

 

those Chrysanths look fantastic !

 

At the show yesterday I was awarded the best flower in the show with this Begonia Rex. I aren't complaining, but it seemed an ironic award for a plant that is completely devoid of flowers.
