| This segment of the
monthly meeting programme enables some of the beautiful plants that members are
growing to be displayed and appreciated by other members. It is a
non serious competition where
winners are chosen by members votes. The
segment creates a great deal of interest with well grown and often, unusual
plants being shown. By voting on the plants, enables members to show their
appreciation for the efforts of the grower, firstly in growing the plant, and
secondly, in bringing the plant into the meeting for all to see.
Some of our members have large collections, but
those of us who don't should not feel our plants are inferior. We too, can grow
lovely plants. After all, with fewer plants to attend to, we can give them more
individual attention that the larger grower.
Members are encouraged to support this
segment which is organised by Nigel, who puts in a
big effort to conduct the competition. If everyone brought in just one plant, we
would have a superb monthly display - we wouldn't all win a prize, but we should
look at is as a display of our best plants and if we are lucky enough to take
out an award - then that's a bonus.
There are 3 categories:
1. Neoregelias
2. Terrestrials and
Tillandsias
3. Other Genera.
Please register your
entries with Nigel before 1.30pm.
