Friends
I’m happy to say that I’m regularly working on photos now. As time permits, I’ll be making regular posts both here on Daffnet and on Facebook where they are made public so a friend request is not necessary to view the albums. By the way, I have about 12 years of flower show photo albums on Facebook if anyone is interested. I usually title the album by the name of the city the show was held in to make searching easy.
For this Convention show, a couple of standout flowers for me, was Apache Tears and Esker Farms Innovation winner of 5Y-O (a mini in the last post of mini ADS award winners). Apache Tears is one of Bob Spotts Green bred beauties.

Tom, thank you for the photography you do of so many shows! Was this year a record? Beautiful flowers and beautiful photographs!
no record yet Becky. typically it’s 8 shows, and if I would’ve been able to visit all the shows I planned in 2019, it would have been 10 and that would have been a record.
