The Orange show was held last weekend.
After such a hot early spring and then a week of rain and strong winds I was not sure that there would be many flowers available. Around 660 flowers greeted the judge making for a great display.
Best progressive class was a discarded seedling from Tony Davis grown by Peter Stonestreet
Champion small cup was 32/10 from Tony Davis
Reserve champion was Burdikin shown by Glenn Sheldrick
Best in Show was Crowndale shown by Rob Slarke
Davis’ sdlg – Discarded!!! Never know when a piece of ‘trash’ turns out to be a pot of gold. It is absolutely beautiful. Don
Graeme Davis advised that his recollection was that while it has excellent form and is consistent, it fails to reach a size which makes it competitive. Unfortunately it’s just a little too large to make Intermediate where it would be a real step forward.
