Hints for Exhibitors in the Flower Class

All exhibits should be arranged attractively
Cut flowers are to be shown with long stem and where possible, with foliage
For taller stems and larger containers, the use of cedar is recommended to hold the stems in place. Note: Cedar is used as a filler and is not to show above the container edge
Flowers should be as uniform as possible
A spray is a portion of the plant, with a number of flowers
A stem is a plant structure, carrying one or more flowers and/or buds
A bloom is an individual flower, one to a stem
If a bud is not opened and not showing any colour, it does not count as a bloom and it is a good idea to remove it
Exhibit(s) must contain the exact number of flowers specified in the section
Do not leave seed heads in the exhibit
Watch for wilted petals
Remove debris from the pot
Flowers and Plants must be insect and disease free to be eligible for judging
In dahlia classes, green centres should not be showing and the blooms should be approximately 45 degrees from the stem
Ideal gladiolus should be 1/3 open, 1/3 bud, 1/3 green, please use a tall sturdy container
A snapdragon may have more than one spike, (note what is specified for the section)
African violets should contain only a single crown in a pot
In a floral arrangement, the large flowers and strong colours should be at the base
