That's really sad, Bonnie.  Flower shows are one of the joys of my life.  I 
fell
in love with flower shows when I was about four years old and my grandmother
had an entry in the local club's show - that club in the Florida panhandle 
still
exists, and I have been in touch with it in recent years. When we moved to 
New
York in 1953, a friend gave me a ticket to the big flower show in the old 
Wanamaker building, which burned down a few years later.  One at the
Colisseum in the early 60's was a real high point.  Then I joined a garden
club and one of my first acts was to participate in a flower show.  Since
that time I have been involved in, if not always chairman of, probably 40 
flower shows, and almost all of them have been a pleasure.  There is a 
point in the preparations when everything seems to be pure chaos, but 
then a time comes when it's like jello setting and everything comes together
to create a lovely scene of peace and harmony.
Forgive me for running on so, but I really think it's sad that you have not
ever seen a flower show.  You will probably not be as charmed as I by one,
but you will surely find something of interest and pleasure in any show.

I guess I was thinking more of botanic gardens than the flower shows.
Must admit that although I have visited many botanic gardens, I have
never been to a flower show.
