I seriously was just sending it to the show to add color and filler. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine this would happen. Seriously! Still have so much to learn about these things apparently.
Congrats! The first ribbon just whets your whistle. It happened to me. 2 years ago I entered a few plants in a show and got a couple ribbons. 46 ribbons and 1 AOS awarded plant later the process intrigued me enough to go into the judging program.
