Thanks to Margaret Seconi for the T . B . show summary and results .Both Wilfred and I traveled about an hour south to stage our flowers on Friday evening .I had my camera out then , taking plenty but mostly of the early entries .I had a long chat to Wilf and spotted two poets in his vases , waiting to be staged . Last season , another very early season , he had poets flowering in August ; 2013 is the first year he has entered poets in a show in August .And , from all who saw it on Saturday , a most deserved winner and a great breeding achievement .The doubles were having a good season in our area ; I had a nice mix but they were dwarfed by John Hollevers hugh Neavesville Gold , Reserve Champion .Here are a few shots taken Friday evening .
