Ready for the Show?

[RJSquirrel]

R u Ready to present plants at an OS?
1.An OS member n got blooms? I understand they like walk ups too

2.R your plants tagged? PROPERLY. (I experienced what happens when you don't). Take some time at home while you have time to make sure all your plants are identified with tags and are easy to read. You may have to leave your plant with someone that if they cant read your writing or a blobby/faded out tag, It will sit there and not go anywhere. A No Show Go.

3.extra clay pots? in case one gets broken. I take mine out of my glass jars bec they are so fragile and I cant find anymore just like those. I put it all in clay now. Heard Pots hitting the ground all day long. One will be broken I assure you.

4.spray bottle? you might want to mist them on occasion as some places are pretty dry. I re-pot mine in fresh sphagnum and wet it down nicely few days before. I don't want a drippy mess day of the show, but worse a dried up wilted plant everyone looking at. Might be a few days in hot dry conditions and You might not be able to get water to them.

5.stakes, clips, clippers,tape,small tools? you never know. You might even be able to help someone else out who doesn't have these items who should have them

6. Am I ready I think so..only my 2nd show and I want things to be right..

Anything you can do in advance will help when you get there...

What a circus!!

This ones going to be a little easier as we arent the host .I dont have but a few plants that from what Ive seen already are going to be FILLER. Thats okey you cant always have a Blue Ribbon plant laying around to throw down at an OS. I got lucky last time.
I dont have anything interesting beyond ordinary this time around.They all special to me

But Im going to go help and learn from whom I can. Thats my main thing is just to GO!! plants or not..I want to help ,its my nature..
