The Whanganui Horticultural Society had their Spring Show on Saturday 20 , Election Day in NZ .
No change of government in NZ ; also no change of winners at Whanganui . It is the home patch for Wayne Hughes and he is almost unbeatable at home . I was unable to attend but thanks Wilfred for your show report and photo — hopefully more to come .Champion Bloon went to Wayne with a very very smooth seedling , 2 Y – YO . It was a FLASDANCE seedling , WH – F D 14 , but as the photo shows , much paler in the perianth . Wilf said the photo did not quite capture the true , even light yellow and attractive cup . Wayne also took Reserve Champ with another seedling , a 2 W – YO , again very smooth . First photo is edited [ coloured ] right is as Wilfred captured the champ .
