The growers from the Central Daffodil Group made a special effort to support the Centenial Show ;
Twice as many blooms as last season ; this increase was also reflectedin all other show classes , floral art ,
home produce , vegetables cooking and childrens classes.
It was a very full hall and the public attendance was also very good ; everybody came to the party .
A special CentenialClass for daffs was —
7 Daffodils , exhibitors choice , from divs 1 — 4 ,1 vase
To be judged 50 % presentation ; — 50 quality .
These type of classes are becoming more popular at our local shows ; when well done they can make
quite an impact ; sevens are not easy and cannot be rushed .
Brian Mackenzie is a very good stager ; he only has a small home daff plot but willingly helps many
others at the shows and always does it well .
He found enough blooms to do his own seven and left the three others well behind .
Good colour balance , not crowded or gappy ; a vey attractive vase …
My second placed entry tried to steal it with colour but the judge got it correct .
A good show for Brian — Seventh heaven .
