Gaz Posted September 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) Thanks everybody, it's always fun to enter the show. It's now 2 years running that I've won the Foliage Pot Plant class with CPs, last year I got 1st for a S. purpurea and 2nd with a large pot of D. capensis. It's a good place to promote CP's to people who've never seen such things. They definitely prompt a lot of interest. I'm grooming a C. follicularis for next year. Sadly my 48.5cm runner bean didn't even get 3rd place so I still haven't been able to win the longest runner bean class Edited September 9, 2013 by Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoLongFairWell Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 They don't do village shows in Ireland. It's such a shame. I used to love entering them in the UK. I used to win the flower arranging a lot as I studied floristry. Plus my orchids and Agaves used to win prizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they're just waiting for you to organise one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
