Philly Flower Show (Part 3)

The landscape exhibition at the PFS was so impressive.

This is just one of them. It is hard to imagine how much work it was to do this type of large scale landscape complete with ponds in the convention center. Just forcing all the trees and flowers to bloom this time of the year in Philadelphia alone is a daunting task.

Philly Flower Show (Part 2)

It took awhile to upload all of the pressed flower competition pictures. The entries are amazing. Click the link to view my album.

I tried to associate pictures with name, class, and award but I could be wrong in some cases. If anyone sees any mistakes, please contact me. It is hard to remember every picture's details. I was busy just enjoying to view all the beautiful entries.

Philly Flower Show (Part 1)

I went to the Philadelphia Flower Show and served as a judge. This is the first time I have physically been in the show. I had great time. Judging was very difficult since all of the entries are so good. We worked from 8am to 2:30pm to finish submitting all the categories and best of the blues. This one has received the best of the blues. It is such a master piece. We can't stop looking at all the details.

Many of the guild members have participated. I am very happy to see that. Many have won ribbons.



There was a student judge with us. I found out that they have to serve as a student judge (their points would not be counted) to learn before they could serve as a regular judge. She told me that her mentor told her to go to Kate Chu's website to learn about pressed flowers before coming to the show. Wow! I am so honored. Many other judges knew about me too. I worked very well with the other two judges in our team. They said that they have actually learned a few things from me. I am glad.
