Results of the SAF Competition
There
were 44 growers in the Competition with over 225 entries, more
S.A. growers than I have ever seen. Judging was
harder this year than past years, very few Blue Ribbons were given and
over ¾ of the entries did not ribbon at all.
The
KB Ravenna - Hot Pink Oriental Lily won BEST LILY IN THE LILY CLASS and we had a
lot of competition. This was our only blue ribbon.
I
felt if I could have opened the Ice Dancer - White Oriental Lily, it would have
taken the best of class because of its large blooms and strong stems---but we
still took a second.
Our Orientals proved to be world class and we should be
very proud of the Farm.
The greenhouse did a superior
job growing, selecting, and shipping: out of 400 stems, we only
lost 2. A very special thank you to Greenleaf Phoenix, Kathy and her crew for setting and
transporting the flowers.
