A FEW PHOTOS FROM MY GARDEN CLUB ANNUAL FLOWER SHOW.

Our flower show is held at the Macon County State Fair.  The entries are from our town/county residents and also from our garden club members.  This year my entries were in two divisions and I was thrilled to win a blue ribbon (first place)  and a red ribbon (second place).    We have over 100 entries and several divisions so I couldn't share everything.  I hope you enjoy the photos I am sharing.

 

This photo shares some of the entries in our show.  Just beautiful! I think you will agree.

 

This is my dish garden entry.  There were eight entries in this division.  I was very happy to win 2nd place, My inspiration was the mini lawn chair.  The doll was from my doll house and the blue birds I purchased at Goodwill.  The blue stones represents a stream.  The plants are hens and chicks, other succulents and the tall plant is a cactus..  I had a little poodle and a fairy as well.

 

Can you see my fairy with her feet in the water?

 

This is my cut flower entry.  Pink Sedum, greenery and vinca hanging down on the sides.  This is my blue ribbon winner.  Needless to say I was very happy.

Now for some other gorgeous entries.

 

Both of these plants won a ribbon.  No surprise, they are beautiful.

 

This is a dried flower arranged and it won a blue ribbon as well.  Our garden club president arranged this lovely work of art.

 

Another beautiful entry.

 

A few more candid shots.

 

Definitely a beautiful dish garden.

 

This is Best of Show for a single flower entry.  Beautiful!  This is a cockscomb and it is huge.

 

So many lovely entries.

 

I can't decide which I love the best.  You can see why the judge had a hard time picking winners from these many arrangements.  And there were so many more that I haven't shared.  My post is already heavy on photos.

Hope you enjoyed the show.

Happy Blue Monday

Blessings and love,

Jeanne

How appropriate to celebrate your blue ribbon on Blue Monday! Beautiful photos. That is cool to belong to a garden club and actually have something to contribute. I have never been to a flower show, but always think of the flower show from Mrs. Miniver, which Downton Abbey kinda copied! ;-)

Well done, Jeanne! Plant and flower shows are always a good photo opportunity!

Looks like you have lots of blues on your blog this morning, and the flowers are so lovely. What a show to judge. Mr. Linky was gone just now, and I didn't get linked in. Sorry!
