Are you ready to share your “Garden Treasures” with your friends and neighbors? The most popular divisions at the flower show are Divisions I, II and III Single Stem Cut Flowers. Do you have Roses? Iris? Any other flower? Bring them to the flower show. That means cut a single stem from the plant with at least one leaf attached, bring it to the Active Adult Center Saturday morning between 7:30a.m. and 10a.m. We will supply the vase. You might win! Every year the variety of flowers is amazing. Be sure to come by between 1 and 4 o’clock either Saturday or Sunday to view the entries and see what you won. Even if you are not entering a bloom or plant this year, come anyway. Admission is FREE. And there will be live music, a plant boutique, a café and a table for the kids to make something. The Fillmore Flower Show is a really fun event! For a little more detail, roses have several competitive categories: Hybrid Tea, Floribunda, Miniature Rose, Any other Unlisted Rose, and Novelty Rose, most fragrant and largest bloom. There are also several categories of Other Single Stem Cut Flowers: Orchids, Lilies, Delphinium, Geranium and Any Other Unlisted Flower. Bottom line: If you have grown a flower, bring it to the Fillmore Flower Show. If you enter once, you’ll be back year after year. See you there. For complete information go to: fillmoreflowershow.org.
