Finding Beauty in a Pandemic

A Virtual Flower Show

Summer 2020

WHAT IS A VIRTUAL FLOWER SHOW?

McCracken County Extension Master Gardeners (MCEMG) has sponsored a standard flower show as part of theMcCracken County Fair for decades. Open Gate Garden Club, Perennial Gardeners Garden Club and Homemakers’ Garden Club have been steady partners in the endeavor.

Coronavirus cancelled the 2020 fair, and with it the flower show. To continue the tradition, MCEMG created “Covid-19, Finding Beauty in a Pandemic,” a DESIGN-ONLY virtual flower show featuring catchphrases associated with the pandemic. Participation in the show was open to residents of ten counties in far western Kentucky.

Via e-mail, digital-only entries were accepted July 1 – 25, 2020. Designers created exhibits and submitted digital photos showing front, left and right poses, plus a photo showing the height, width and depth of the design. On the Entry Form, designers listed all plant material used in the design and briefly described the design concept.

On August 1, 2020, a panel of three National Garden Club, Inc.-accredited flower show judges, via ZOOM, evaluated 33 entries spread over 7 adult classes and one youth competition. What follows are the results of that judging.

Designs are shown by Class with an introductory slide stating the Class description. One slide of each design shows thefront pose, designer’s name, ribbon awarded, judge’s comment, list of plant material and design concept. The color of ribbon awarded appears in text (i.e. BLUE RIBBON) on the left side of the screen and as a color block running down the right side of the screen. A blue ribbon represents first place; red is second; yellow is third; and white is HonorableMention. Four designs received a score of “Red 90+”, indicating each was good enough to receive a blue ribbon.

We thank all exhibitors for participating in this unique show. Congratulations to all. Enjoy the show!

Carol Ullerich, Show Chair

CLASS I –VACANT STREETS

During the nearly nationwide lockdown occasioned by Covid-19, photos of empty streets and deserted highways became

common. In some locations, wild animals roamed streets once filled with people.

Angular Design – Creative design emphasizing strong angles that may be acute, obtuse, reflex, right angles or a combination

of angles.

ENTRY I - 1

Designer: Carol Ullerich

BLUE RIBBON

Judge’s Comment: “Nomenclature spot on; good rhythm and organization”

PLANT MATERIAL:

Hemerocallis ‘Carolicolossal’ (spider type daylily)

DESIGN CONCEPT:

I chose this acrylic structure because of its prominent anglesand simplicity. The red areas are meant to be open. I closed them with red poster board to indicate the “danger” associatedwith Covid-19. I chose bright yellow spider daylilies to punctuate the “caution” we mustexercise daily to safely recover from the pandemic.

ENTRY I – 3

Designer: Jane Junkerman

RED RIBBON

Judge’s Comment: “Clever, unique, eye travels throughentire design.”

Plant Material:

Gerbera jamesonii (Gerbera Daisy)Miscanthus sinensis ‘Gracillimus’

Design Concept:

View from window onto vacant streets while isolating. Hope represented by single perfect daisy sitting on window ledge.

ENTRY I - 2

Designer: Brenda Johnson

YELLOW RIBBON

Judge’s Comment: “Good selection of plant material but don’t see angles; more of a cascade or traditionalline design.”

PLANT MATERIAL:

Hemerocallis ‘White Temptation’ (daylily)Gelsemium sempervirens (Carolina jasmine)Salix matsudana (corkscrew willow)Hosta (plantain lilies)Rhododendron

DESIGN CONCEPT:

Daylilies are the focal point at a 90 degree intersection of buildings and streets represented by the bare limbs of corkscrew willow.

‘White Temptation’ daylily symbolizes the need to avoidcareless temptations (e.g. no social distancing). By mindful consideration, the garden of friends (foliage) canbe preserved.

ENTRY I – 4

Designer: Brandy Polivick

WHITE RIBBON

Judge’s Comment:“No angles as required by schedule.Horticulture at peak of perfection.”

PLANT MATERIAL:

Hydrangea macrophylla (hydrangea)Hemerocallis lilioasphodelus (daylilies)

DESIGN CONCEPT:

I chose the two different vibrant color flowers to show that though we are all going throughthis pandemic differently, but yet,still together.

Class II –TOGETHER APART

Getting together when we can’t. A wedding. A father’s final breath. A dance recital. Grandparents seeing their new grandchild for the first

time. Graduation. Prom. Easter. Mother’s Day. A birthday.These celebrations usually happen with others, not alone in

isolation. Social distancing didn’t stop these events, it spurredcreativity and imagination.

Design in style of Stretch Design

ENTRY II - 2


BLUE RIBBON

Judge’s Comment: “Very dynamic; lovely scale; vibrant & clear”

PLANT MATERIAL:

Crocosmia ‘Lucifer’ (montbretia)Hosta ‘Guacamole’ Arum italicum (Italian arum)Iris domestica (blackberry lily)

DESIGN CONCEPT:

I envisioned a tug of war between families and our own internal struggle trying to balance doing what’s right (staying home, social distancing and wearing a mask) with doing what we/I want to do.

In my rendition, the smaller unit (the child or inner desire) wins by pulling the Italian arum seedpod through the opening. Fire colors, orange and red, evoke the passion people are displaying, especially about wearing a mask.

ENTRY II – 4

Designer: Betty Thompson

RED RIBBON

Judge’s Comment:“Containers flow to each other rather than showing ‘tension’ needed for stretch component. Classic example of distinction.”

PLANT MATERIAL:

Rudbeckia hirta (black-eyed Susan)Akebia quinata (fiveleaf akebia)-received cutting from former extension office location while enrolled in MCEMG class.

DESIGN CONCEPT:

This design represents how flowers from the same plant can be placed in different-sized containers and continue with the same concept. This design is simplistic yet coordinated and can be easily done by anyone who wants fresh flowers in their home.

ENTRY II – 3


YELLOW RIBBON

Judge’s Comment:“Imaginative use of zinnias inside hydrangeas; flawless plant material”

PLANT MATERIAL:

Lonicera sempervirens (honeysuckle vine) Zinnia elegans (zinnia)Rudbeckia hirta (black-eyed Susan)Ocimum basilicum (basil)Coreopsis lanceolata (coreopsis)Hydrangea arborescens ‘Annabelle’

DESIGN CONCEPT:

Large design is for grandmother in nursing home who is unable to have visitors. Small design is for granddaughter who dearly loves her grandma.

ENTRY II – 1


WHITE RIBBON

Judge’s Comment:“Cute, imaginative, only slight tension in connector; a little busy.”

Plant material:Hydrangea ‘Pee Gee’MandevillaQuercus phellos (willow oak)Gelsemium sempervirens (Carolina yellow jasmine)

Design Concept: Family gatherings are essentially not happening – so the message in this design is from parents of grown children to their children and grandchildren:

“Hey Kids, stay safe and don’t lose your ‘MARBLES’ in this pandemic. You may want to play later.”

CLASS III -FLATTENING THE CURVE

Slowing down the spread of Covid-19 by testing, tracking, treating and ultimately creating and distributing a vaccine.

That’s the plan.

Cascade Design emphasizing downward rhythmic movement.

ENTRY III - 1


BLUE RIBBON

Judge’s Comment:“Doesn’t that look like Covid!”

PLANT MATERIAL:

Hosta ‘Herifu’Scabiosa ‘Marshmallow SCOOP’Agave Americana (American century plant)Juniperus virginiana ‘Grey Owl’ (juniper)Liriope muscari ‘Big Blue’ (monkey grass)

DESIGN CONCEPT:

My goal was finding plant material to represent Covid-19. I chose Scabiosa SCOOPS because they closely resemble the image being used to convey the virus on the news. Two spikes of century plant achieveheight and provide a counterpoint to the soft edges of the Hosta leaves. I incorporated juniper to provide a frilly texture and monkey grass for a bit of lightness.

ENTRY III – 2


RED RIBBON 90+

Judge’s Comment:“Well-done cascade design with definite emphasis on downward movement; heavy standdistracting”

PLANT MATERIAL USED:

Hydrangea paniculata ‘Grandiflora’ (Pee Gee hydrangea)Hosta (plantain lily)RhododendronTaxodium distichum (bald cypress)Gelsemium sempervirens (Carolina jasmine)

DESIGN CONCEPT:

As the curve is lessened, hope is shown in the white hydrangea blooms as the green material cascades into nothingness.

CLASS IV –GREEN LIGHT

Kentuckians have been urged to bathe their homes and neighborhoods in green lights to remember the lives lost

to Covid-19.

Design of any type using all green plant material

ENTRY IV – 4


BLUE RIBBON

Judge’s Comment:“Creative use of line material in contrast to placement of leaves at bottom; clever layering”

PLANT MATERIAL:

Hosta ‘Sum & Substance’ (leaves and stems)Davallia canariensis (Rabbit Foot Fern) (leaves)Rudbeckia hirta (black-eyed Susan) (leaves)

DESIGN CONCEPT:

An interesting element of Class IV for me is it demonstrates“green is just not green.” As I strolled around my yard in search of items for this design, I focused on different shadesof green, different shapes of leaves and different textures. I hope this design also supports awareness that different partsof the same plant can occupy space with varied depth and completeness such as the hosta leaves and stems of hostaflowers that I used.

ENTRY IV - 1


RED RIBBON

Judge’s Comment:“Very artistic. Few deductions due to sparse plant material. Copper seems to overwhelm but good selection of plant material.”

PLANT MATERIAL:

Pyrus communis (Kieffer or common pear)Hylotelephium ‘Herbstfreude’ Autumn Joy (stonecrop, sedum)Capsicum annuum (cayenne pepper)

DESIGN CONCEPT:

I emphasized things that “shine”—copper pipe and tubing, leaves, pears and peppers. At this stage of growth, the ‘Autumn Joy’ sedum appears to “glow” green to me.

ENTRY IV – 3


YELLOW RIBBON

Judge’s Comment:“Weeping nature of bald cypress distracts fromwell-defined focal point.”

PLANT MATERIAL:

Hosta (plantain lily)Taxodium distichum (bald cypress)Quercus phellos (willow oak)Leucanthemum (Shasta daisy)

DESIGN CONCEPT:

Definitely wanted design to speak in shades of green. The few willow oak twigs speak to the strength of oak trees; bald cypress shows the weeping of families; shasta daisy (not in bloom now) will bloom on the other side as new life; Hosta leaves symbolize devotion.

ENTRY IV-2

Designer: Diane Shrewsberry

WHITE RIBBON

Judge’s Comment: “Airy and light but needs to be finished. Somewhat disorganized. More plantmaterial needed for traditional design.”

Plant Material:

Asparagus aethiopicus – Asparagus; Hydrangea paniculata – Hydrangea; Gladiolus communis – Gladiolus;Hosta capitata – Hosta; Phlox subulata – creeping phlox; Muehlenbeckia axillaris – creeping wire vine

Design Concept:

Wispy ferns signify prayers during dark days of Covid, and for the lost lives. Tall upright plantings show hope, bravery and courage as we fight the virusand look for the cure. The beginning of a hydrangea shows light at the endof darkness. Tiny leaves of vine material show faith as strong as a mustardseed for those left behind.

ENTRY IV – 5


WHITE RIBBON

Judge’s Comment: “Perhaps a ‘low- profile’ design intended to be viewed from above. Container supports display of abundant and pristine plant material. Interesting collection.”

PLANT MATERIAL:

Rubus allegheniensis (blackberry vine)Polypodiopsida (fern)Hemerocallis lilioasphodelus (daylily blades)

DESIGN CONCEPT:

The lives lost to Covid-19 have spanned over the entire state of Kentuckyprompting our state to light up green in their memory. I chose my design to point in all different directions signifying the losses in all directions inour state. I used twine to tie together my blackberry vine to make each end meet to represent that no matter what part of the state you are in, we are in this together.

ENTRY IV – 6

Designer: Dorothy Caldwell

WHITE RIBBON

Judge’s Comment: “Wonderful plant material but hard to find design. Suitable container draws eye through exhibit.”

PLANT MATERIAL and DESIGN CONCEPT:

Rhododendron simsil (azalea); Hydrangea paniculata(Limelight hydrangea); Magnolia grandiflora (southernmagnolia); Hydrangea macrophylla (big-leaf hydrangea); Hibiscus moscheutos (hardy hibiscus)

All greenery from my yard. Magnolia planted by my husband 38 years ago—year of my daughter's birth. Azalea planted in memory of my son's dog. Hibiscus gift from friend who, in turn, was given seeds by childhood friend. Big-leaf hydrangea was gift of my daughter's friend who came to join us for Easter dinner. Limelight hydrangea planted to start shade garden after we finished our deck. Each plant added to make our yard more beautiful and welcoming. We turn on a green light on our front porch every evening to remember those lost to COVID-19.

CLASS V –THE FRONT LINE

The essential workers (health care providers, grocery clerks, policeand firefighters, shelf stockers, store cleaners, mail carriers and

delivery drivers, to name a few) who’ve continued working—risking their lives—to keep things going while the rest of us

sequester in place.

Transparency Design with see-through elements permitting somecomponents to be viewed through others.

ENTRY V – 4


BLUE RIBBON

Judge’s Comment: “Perfect berries. Controlled balance. Good depth. Components viewed through others. Racquets reminiscent of netting blackberries to protect from birds. Flawless. Outstanding.”

PLANT MATERIAL:

Rubus (blackberries)We started our berry patch with cuttings from neighbor’s patch.Variety unknown.

DESIGN CONCEPT:

Movement of berry canes through still components (to some degree) mimics artist’s beauty of growth of blackberry plants. Blackberries form a natural flow of moving under, over and in-between whatever they are near. I chose yellow for the color of the form as it is a reminder of the sun which blackberries loveand need to thrive.

ENTRY V – 1


RED RIBBON (90+)

Judge’s Comment:“Takes the eye for a ride.” “Striking. Can’t clearly see flowers behind organza, but still works for transparency. All three pieces work together.”

PLANT MATERIAL:

Salix udensis ‘Sekka’ (Japanese fantail willow)Rosa (florist rose)Hosta ‘First Frost’ (small unit)Hosta ‘Guacamole’ (large unit)Echinacea purpurea (dried purple coneflower)

DESIGN CONCEPT:

I stretched organza over an embroidery hoop to create a “mask.” I incorporated dried seedheads of purple coneflower to represent Covid-19. I chose red florist roses to symbolize healthcare workers putting their lives on the line daily for the rest of us. Hosta leaves and fantail willow provide height and structure.

ENTRY V – 3


YELLOW RIBBON

Judge’s Comment: “Difficult to orient myself to design, but interesting concept.Envious of beautiful blue hydrangea. Size of flowers obscures what lies beneath.”

PLANT MATERIAL:

Hydrangea macrophylla (hydrangea)Helianthus (sunflower)Erigeron pulchellus (astereae)

DESIGN CONCEPT:

I chose to layer glass cake plates to show the transparency of my blooms. Showcasing thebest assets of each, just like our frontlineworkers. I chose to display the top layer a little further back to signify sheltering in placewhile the bottom blooms are brought to the front to signify the frontline workers.

ENTRY V – 2


WHITE RIBBON

Judge’s Comment:“Cage confining and distracting. Good idea but execution problematic. One becomes trapped inside cage and cannot escape.”

PLANT MATERIAL:

Hydrangea ‘Pee Gee’Hosta – symbol of devotionMandevilla

DESIGN CONCEPT:

Seeing through confines of Covid-19, devotion (Hosta) of many Front Line workers(Hydrangea) is shown by winding path (Mandevilla) while ministering to needs of Covid-19 victims.

CLASS VI –EMPTY SHELVES

Toilet paper, hand sanitizer, meat, ventilators and PPE (masks, gloves and gowns)

have all been in short supply during the pandemic.

Design of any type using only non-flowering horticulture. Foliage and branches are fine,

but no blooms.

ENTRY VI - 2


BLUE RIBBON

Judge’s Comment: “Well-planned; creatively organized; distinctive. Sansevieria placement demonstrates design concept and balances heaviness of container.”

PLANT MATERIAL:Sansevieria (mother-in-law’s tongue)Osmanthus heterophyllus ‘Goshiki’ (false holly)Agave americana (American Century Plant)Hosta ‘Elegans’Polygonatum odoratum var. pluriflorum ‘Variegatum’ (Solomon’s Seal)

DESIGN CONCEPT:Stark design conveys difference between pre-March 11, 2020, and post-; the period between realization of a pandemic and lockdown. Left side of design is heavy, indicating America was flush with goods and everything was plentiful. Right side, dramatized by swords of Sansevieria and Agave americana, represents bare shelves that quickly became commonplace throughout the nation.

ENTRY VI – 4


RED RIBBON

Judge’s Comment: “Sweet. Wandering Jew an unusual choice to include in design but it’s placement is creative. More interesting from side. Appears stable without any noticeable mechanicsto hold it in place.”


Salix babylonica var. pekinensis ’Tortuosa’ (corkscrew willow)Gaura lindheimeri (gaura)Tradescantia fluminensis (wandering jew)Caladium bicolor (angel wings)

DESIGN CONCEPT:

Barren branches reflect empty shelves in stores. When we were in quarantine, it was early spring. Gaura symbolizes budding trees. White of caladium and purple of wandering jew are spring colors of Easter. Even though we missed Easter this year, we can look forward to it next year.

ENTRY VI – 1


YELLOW RIBBON

Judge’s Comment: “Elegant. Balanced. Design heavyenough for vase. Well-done; well-organized plant material.”

PLANT MATERIAL:

Salix matsudana (Corkscrew willow) (dried branches)Magnolia grandiflora (Southern magnolia) (dried twigs and leaves)Magnolia soulangeana (Saucer magnolia)

DESIGN CONCEPT:

Dried material represents all the empty shelves.All is not lost, the green material is the natural revitalization, though slow but sure, and hopeful.

ENTRY VI - 3


WHITE RIBBON

Judge’s Comment: “Let’s have salad for lunch!” “May have been better to distribute greens and reds throughout basket rather than concentrating them. Concerned with use of fruit—result of flowering—in branch/foliage class.”

PLANT MATERIAL:

Solanum lycopersicum (tomatoes)Curcumis sativus (cucumbers)Zea mays (corn)

DESIGN CONCEPT:

With grocery shelves becoming empty, thoughts of many turned to vegetable gardening. Gardening centers experienced more customers than in previous years. This design represents how fruits of efforts spent in vegetable garden can appear. Hopefully empty shelves will not be evident in homes this coming fall and winter as new gardeners turned their energies toward preserving the products of their efforts. Clusters of varied vegetables are part of my design, contrasted with elongation of some objects and spherical nature of others. Colors of objects are complimentary, providing striking difference just as nutrients do in diet rich in fruits and vegetables.

CLASS VII –DINING IN

This simple phrase has new meaning in 2020. It could be“dining in” your bedroom while segregated from your family. It could be

“dining in” your pajamas - again. Or, it could be “dining in” your car.

Design a Tray for One with Decorative Unit in scale to single place setting.Tray requires appropriate-sized Decorative Unit with importance given

to its stability.

Entry VII – 3


BLUE RIBBON

Judge’s Comment:“Neat, crisp & exciting. Plant material picks up tray color. Vase looks like Mickey’s ears.”

PLANT MATERIAL:Eryngium yuccifolium (rattlesnake master)Scabiosa stellata (scabiosa pods)Hosta ‘Gold Standard’ and ‘Toy Soldier’

DESIGN CONCEPT:1) Would rather have been at “Happiest Place on Earth” but it was closed. 2) Thinking of happier days at Disneyworld brought smile to face & provided welcomerelief from scary news.

Circles repeated in plant material, polka dot napkin, homemade container, cup, and of course, Mickey’s ears and head. Bold yellow background represents sunshine we were once told would kill virus.

ENTRY VII - 1


RED RIBBON (90+)

Judge’s Comment:“Love it! Clean; ‘Would want to sit down and eat;’ even think ‘red & white’ with clear Coke glass. Much harmony.”

PLANT MATERIAL:Trachelospermum jasminoides (star jasmine or confederate jasmine); Native to China, not U.S.

DESIGN CONCEPT:In trying to enjoy dining alone, special consideration is to have something that brings visual pleasure and triggers good memories in times of separation such as these. This favorite specimen (*jasmine) in the Smiley Face flower container along with an iconic Coca-Cola can spawn a more peaceful frame of mind. Smile and Enjoy!

ENTRY VII – 4


YELLOW RIBBON

Judge’s Comment:“Sides of tray limit function; decorative unit too small; size of items should vary. Lovely zinnias.”

PLANT MATERIAL:

Zinnia elegant (mini-zinnia)Rudbeckia hirta (black-eyed Susan)

DESIGN CONCEPT:

Use of warm colors softens organic elements. My hope is to convey comfort and happiness in a way that could be enjoyed by any recipient of this breakfast/brunch tray.

ENTRY VII - 2

Designer: Diane Shrewsberry

WHITE RIBBON

Judge’s Comment: “Good use of color, but decorative unit too big. All components overwhelmed by decorative unit. *Tray not typically exhibited with food.

PLANT MATERIAL:

Asparagus aethiopicus (asparagus) Hydrangea paniculata (hydrangea)Gladiolus communis (gladiolus) Hosta capitataZinnia ArumCaladium Rosa grandiflora (tea rose)Lysimachia nummularia 'Aurea’ (creeping jenny)Clematis

DESIGN CONCEPT:

Dining in during the “alone days” became noteworthy by adding a bit of joy to the dinner tray. Flowers and fragrance add a positive spin to an otherwise dreary chore of preparing food for oneself. Using a bit of china, a formal crystal glass and a vintage pitcher added some cheer!

ENTRY VII - 6

Designer: Riff Turner

WHITE RIBBON

Judge’s Comment:“Beautiful coordination of service, but decorativeunit doesn’t stand out.” *Tray not typically exhibited with food.


Solanum lycopersicum (tomato)Ocimum basilicum (basil)Petroselinum crispum (parsley)Thymus vulgaris (common thyme)Mentha × piperita (peppermint)

DESIGN CONCEPT:

Home alone for lunch, I sometimes splurge & prepare this salad to take outside to my shaded back porch, turn on fan, and enjoy taste and aroma of fresh herbs & sweet mint tea along with Creamy Mozzarella cheese. A FEEL GOOD lunch!

ENTRY VII – 5


WHITE RIBBON

Judge’s Comment:“Sunflower and napkin nicely complement one another. Cup or glass needed to finish setting. Good execution of sunflower theme; plate even has ‘petal’ motif.” *Schedule called for ‘tray.’

PLANT MATERIAL:

Helianthus (sunflower)Erigeron pulchellus (Astereae)

DESIGN CONCEPT:

Wanted design to feel rural, just like so many Kentucky counties.Decided to go with plaid tablecloth and blue Ball jar as vase. In thatvase was wild Astereae and a single sunflower grown nearby. I chose a single large bloom to represent the social distancing we have done to keep family and friends safe. The yellow sunflower is to remind us of brighter days ahead when we are no longer dining alone at a table set for one.

YOUTH COMPETITIONNon-Traditional Instruction (NTI)

The 2019-2020 school year ended early but learning continued thanks to parents who became impromptu at-home teachers and

educators who sprang into action creating lesson packets and on-line instruction. School buses became rolling lunchrooms and even

delivered caps and gowns. School musicals and graduations became virtual. Traditional birthday parties, senior nights, play dates and end

of year get-togethers were replaced by drives-bys and Zoom grids.

Create a design of any type reminding you of the 2019-2020 school year.

ENTRY YOUTH 1

Designer: Winter Johnson age 15

BLUE RIBBON

Judge’s Comment:“I see fresh plant material ‘going in all directions,’ a fitting description of the school year. Space included in design.”PLANT MATERIAL:

Hemerocallidoidaea; bald cypress; Lagerstroemia;Asclepias tuberosa; Jasminum multiflorum; Gelsemium sempervirens; sphagnum moss; Hydrangea paniculata; woodland twigs

DESIGN CONCEPT:

Uncertainty of what is to come is represented by twigs, partially shutting away some thoughts of hope. Green,draping branches show the past. We can still see it,but envy how relatively intact it was and regret how we took it for granted. Colorful pops of jasmine, butterfly weed, and daylilies show hope for the future and how it’s sometimes masked by doubt, but stands out overall.

ENTRY YOUTH 3

Designer: Gracie Egner age 11

RED RIBBON (90+)

Judge’s Comment:“Sweet explanation. Good color blend in very tight design. Good choice of container. Consider leaving longer rose stems.”

PLANT MATERIAL:

Rosa (roses) (flowers and leaves)

DESIGN CONCEPT:

During the pandemic, I spent a lot of time withmy family. While we were not in school I learned how to can some of the things we grew in our garden.

The three roses represent a family and the Mason jarrepresents how I learned to can.

ENTRY YOUTH 2

Designer: Lily Johnson age 13

RED RIBBON

Judge’s Comment:“I see, ‘More is Better!’ Onegood thing happened this year—the daylily—amongst a lot of plant material (chaos).”

PLANT MATERIAL:

Sedum; Hemerocallis Sempervivoideae (daylily);Asclepias (butterfly weed); Hamamelis virginiana (witch hazel); Gelsemium (Carolina jasmine); Hydrangeaceae (Pee Gee hydrangea); Taxodium(bald cypress)

DESIGN CONCEPT:

During NTI days, it was rather boring, and very few eventful things happened. Everyday was the same thing, and only a few really cool things happened which the daylily shows.

Congratulations to all and thanks for entering!
