NOTES FOR PREPARING EXHIBITS FOR THE FLOWER DEPARTMENT: • In preparing exhibits for the Flower Department, it is very important that you condition your flowers and other plant

materials. There are several simple things which can be done to keep your exhibits fresher and make them more durable.

• It is best to cut your flowers in the early morning on the day they are to be judged (or late in the afternoon the day before), thus giving them several hours to soak up water before placing them in bottles for exhibiting, or making into arrangements. If your plant tends to “bleed” when cut then sear the stem ends with a match or candle flame before placing them in the water. Woody stems need to be split or pounded so that water can readily go up into the stem.

• After gathering your plant materials, wrap bunches together in newspapers and plunge them into tepid water for three to five hours or overnight.

• In preparing Horticulture exhibits (Section I) do not cut off buds or leaves, unless they are bad and your pruning will not be noticed. Never add extra foliage. Stems should be equal in length if at all possible.

• All flower arrangements requiring water should have a container which will hold a sufficient supply of moisture to keep them fresh throughout the judging and the following day.

HOW ENTRIES ARE JUDGED: • Entries are judged on their appearance at exhibit time, not how they looked or will look. • Stems should be straight and strong to hold the flowers upright. A perfect score for condition is given only to flowers at

their ideal stage of development a judging time. Flowers and foliage should be firm and crisp with no evidence of wilting. Tips or petal margins should not have curling, fading or browning.

• Containers used for horticultural classes serve only to hold material in upright position. They should not take attention away from the flowers.

• A good flower arrangement helps you to see all of the specimens clearly. Flowers should have stems about the same height with blooms spaced so that petals do not overlap.

• The relation of colors to one another in the arrangement should make for a pleasing and unified arrangement of flowers and foliage. Good color harmony should also be evident between plant materials and the container.

• Arrangements should have a definite design with stems arranged to create an attractive effect, such as a triangle, S-curve, crescent or sunburst. This requires the tasteful use of color, space, texture and plant shapes. Arranged flowers should look fresh and crisp with no wilting or color fading. There should be no evidence of disease or insect injury. Also there should be no over-mature flowers. Foliage should be inserted so you cannot see the foam, wiring or tape used to hold stems in the container.
