Fraser Valley Show 2006

Laurie and Harry and Nan put together a grand display again.

Thanks to Jerry and Jill for transporting plants and baby sitting the display. 

It always amazes me how many plants Jerry can fit in his van  (It must be expert planning).

The growers from the hick town Nanaimo (and area), ran off with the honours again. 

I wonder if we should suggest that the judging centre be moved to Nanaimo where the best plants are.

Harry had the best plant at the show, winning 91 points and a CCE award for his Phrag. Andean Fire  "Nanaimo".

How often does that high a rating get awarded?   (answer,   not very often.  A very special award !!!)

Jerry had the close second best plant, winning an HCC with 78 points on his Miltonia Anne Warne "Black Creek". 

Those were the only awarded plants at the show.

I suggest that speaks volumes to the dedication and efforts of two of our experienced growers.
