The exhibitor was yours truly. At this point I want to thank people who helped me get my flowers staged. John Castor and Melissa Reading started by helping unpack my flowers and getting them in water after their trip to Mississippi. Melissa, Mike Brook, and Tom Stettner assisted me in the staging – Mike particularly with the Tuggle collection and Tom in the collections of five. Thank you all.
It’s time to rest a little, but we’re not through. There are about ten more ADS award winners yet to be posted.
