The exhibitor was Barbara Mertz. By the way, you should remember Mary Lou’s comment that what the flowers look like at judging time may be quite different from what they look like by the time I get around to photographing them. Although at least two flowers in this picture looks like it’s losing substance, it was no doubt still holding up during judging.
