Default Mom won ribbons at Phila Flower Show

I'm happy to report my Mom won 2 Honorable Mentions with her begonias at the Philadelphia Flower Show, including the only Honorable in the Venerable class (owed plant for 10+ years). She is over the moon, and beat out some stiff competition and big names in the Venerable class.

The definition of the Venerable class is exceptional plant 10 - 20 years old, to be judged against 'perfection' for their species/culture. Only 1 entry per exhibitor.

As she says, there's no beginners luck in that class.

Yeah Mom!

Next year I'm going to do the show with her.

Redhead

That is something special coming from such an old organization full of people who groom their plants for years for this event. I will probably go back to the flower show Sunday. Do you want to tell me the name of the plants? I will try to take some pictures.

Sun,

thanks for the kind offer of taking some pictures. Apparently she already had a friend do so - I'll share when I receive them.

I'm not sure what plants she will have there this weekend. Apparently the classes and judges change? If you see a big curly begonia in a 14" pot that may be her's. I don't remember what other plants she took.
