This show offers a trophy for either a 5 stem white collection or 5 stem pink collection. How many decades have I been entering this show and never knew. It just so happened that I couldn’t enter the 12 stem American bred trophy offer after 2 flowers died on the drive (I was NOT happy), so I threw this in at the last minute and won this trophy which is the winners name on a silver bowl. There’s only 4 named engravings on this bowl. what an Irony. The flowers are American Heritage, Silent Pink, Color Magic, Seedling & Pink China.
