The dahlias were magnificent - everything was perfect. Each bloom, the leaves, everything. There's a lot of work activity to getting a stem to be this perfect - including techniques to get the flower to 'face' a particular way. Chrysanthemums were a great combination as the size of the blooms could match the dahlias for the Wow Effect.
Ralph Suttell, master grower and competitor from Beamsville posed for me with his winning stem which was the size of his head. I appreciate being able to photograph at Ralph's growing field and growing house. He's nearby, so I am very lucky.
The show included an excellent and large floral design show. The grand prize floral design is shown below. It was imaginative and interesting.
