Exhibits from 2012

The Greenwich Dahlia Society is hosting “6th Annual Dazzling Dahlias” Show this week-end.  You may visit the show on Saturday from 1 – 4 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.  At 3 p.m. the flowers will be available for sale.

There is much to do to get ready for this show.  Tables must be set up, arrangements made to adorn the Garden Education Center of Greenwich, the Court of Honor prepared, and then wait for the entries to come in.  Preparation begins at home, but there is much to do to fine tune each entry.  Though I grew about 40 tubers for show this year, there are only just so many that are worthy on any given day.

Unless of course, you grow hundreds, like this entrant does!  This is just the beginning….more to see this week end.  Stay tuned!
