Here are some photos of Flowers which we would have liked to enter in this competition.

Check out last year's Competition photos below - we were very active then!


Here are blooms from Elizabeth Hales' garden. No wonder she normally wins many prizes.

And here are Julie Bidwell's anthuriums and bat flower.   WOW!

March Cut Flower Competition 2020 - before the Pandemic arrived.

Perhaps due to the constant rain and people not wanting to congregate, there was only about 60% of members at the Friday 13th meeting - another reason? However 5 visitors and 4 new members were welcomed.  Understandably, the competition table was rather sparse for a change, but there were many excellent entries - mainly by Elizabeth Hales.

February Cut Flower Competition 2020

The front tables were crowded with magnificent blooms, despite all the rain that we've had.  Co-Ordinator Shirley McDonald and her helpers, Eunice and Pam displayed them beautifully, as shown below.
