He beat me last time for best design.

[Oldfart]

I envy your talent, the best I can grow is a truly magnificent mould.

My SO ditches them before I can get them to competition grade, so I understand

the pain of the lost winner.

Luck to you both.

[cowgirltease]

Tried using sand in your soil?
BTW thanks for the well wishes.

[Lilith]

The orange on is the only one of them I like..but it should be in a bamboo or asian inspired container

[cowgirltease]

True.... He does follow the Ikebana style.

Congrats to Both of you !!

That stand was a candleholder. I ground the tip off where the candle attaches and took a glass bowl and attached it with floral clay. It stands 20" tall. I wouldn't go any higher because the judges need to see the flowers at eye level or below. Yeah the guys at the show were ribbing me about how big it was. They said next time they would bring a ladder so I could work on it. :rofl:

BTW.... Jay-t I emailed you a pic of one I thought was pretty neat.

[Coaster]

Congrats CGT & Darogle!

I wanna join too................ can I be a judge......... looks like they get the job of drinking all that beer & wine that was in those green bottles!!! :D

[cowgirltease]

WE drink all that wine! LMAO. I can't believe you noticed that! :D

[Coaster]

:D

hick!!!!!! ooops!

[fzzy]

Congratulations to both of you ... job VERY well done! The flowers are beautiful and it was very thoughtful of you to include pictures of some of the other arrangements in the show .... shows that its not just about the winning for you, but the beauty of the event itself as well! Congrats again!

[cowgirltease]

Thank you fzzy. I love iris shows! I have more pics of some really unusual irises from the show if you'd like to see them. I was afraid I was boring you all. :(

[Lilith]

[cowgirltease]

Well.... here's some Louisiana irises. I think they are gorgeous. I think I'm gonna order some for next year. :)

[fzzy]

Looks like they will make a lovely addition to your flower beds ... I love seeing the flowers, they are really beautiful!
