Managed to get 5 poms, though they are not the best I have had, have got 3 Wyn's Favourite, small dec, really not big enough, but I am taking them or they would only be left on the allotment. If I did not have the trophy to return, I would not have bothered taking the blooms. Came away with the silver medal for the poms and the bronze for Wyn's Favourite. neither exhibit deserved a medal, if I was the judge, I would not have awarded any medals in the dahlia classes. |

Great result candyblue, lovely blooms in the photos.

p.s. Maybe you should sit the judging exam... seriously (or have I missed that you already are?) |

Wow candyblue your dahlias are fantastic. Congratulations on all your prizes - well deserved. I wish I could vase up as well as you but I struggle with singles.

I entered a show yesterday as well.
I took 1 Tisa, 2 Willo's Violet and 3 Gurtla Twilight poms. 2 Weston Pirates - Miniature, 2 Ruskin Myra - one not photographed as it wasn't good enough to enter, a Ryecroft Zoe and 2 Peach Delight medium semi cactus. I won 1st and 2nd with the Peach Delights and a 1st with 1 of the Pirates.
So I'm happy.

Staging the blooms is something that comes with practice. Before I started showing I would cut any blooms that were ready and stage them in a vase with oasis at home. Also watch how other exhibitors are staging at the shows if possible. Be patient though as it can take some time to get right. |
