Summer Show 2014 at Ferny Creek Horticultural Society
« on: January 12, 2014, 11:45:25 AM »
The weather was kind to us at Ferny Creek in the lead-up to this weekend (we're expecting 5 days around 40oC from tomorrow!) and we had a great Summer Show!
Here are a few images, starting with the Liliums,
cheers

My word- that's quite some display of lilies! I have to admire the exhibitors who were brave enough to cut them for the show.

Yes, Maggi, I'd never be brave enough!
You'll have to wait for the Vireya pics - it's taking a long time to re-size pics as I'm at home and I have to do them one at a time!

Truly, I don't know whether to sigh or sniff!  The fragrance in the hall must have been fantastic- even without a scent button or a scratch and sniff card I can just imagine the scent - lovely!

I must go back to look at previous year's pictures from the show fermi - but it gives me the impression of being a really "vintage" show  - flowers in even greater  profusion than before !

Yes indeed Fermi, a great show. Lilies are good this year in NZ too, we've had so much rain (another inch, 26mm last night and this morning. THIS IS NOT SUMMER! 40 deg C??? Our predicted high for today is 14 C and it's so far managed to crawl up to 7C, a bitter day.
