My Blue Ribbon at the Fair

I know that my annual phlox does not look very good in this photo, but thankfully it looked much better when they did the judging three days ago at the Goodhue County Fair.  I am proud to say that I not only won a blue ribbon for my phlox, but also a red ribbon for my annual scabiosa and several white ribbons for my other entries. I couldn’t be happier and encourage all gardeners out there to take your flowers to the county fair or even the big one…your state fair. There are only a few things to remember:

  1. Always use the amount of stems requested in the premium book that you can usually download off the fair’s website.
  2. The stems and blossoms should be as similar as possible.
  3. Never have any foliage or blossoms underwater in the container or vase.

Pretty easy and VERY rewarding when you take home all those ribbons and impress all your friends and family!
