Re: Re: CULT: Weather and Judges
Thankyou John,
I wish there was a club closer to here. I would love to see an iris show and participate. We are mostly farmers and livestock producers here. Few expensive flowers, more than a dollar or two, or collections exist any closer than 25 miles away and the nearest club is at least 60 miles away, assuming Topeka has one. Our area is growing maybe interest will grow with it.

It is up to the exhibitor to decide which side of a stalk best presents
the flower.
In our club, the exhibitor hangs the entry tag on the side of the
container that presents the best side of the stalk. The "stagers" (the
people that carry the flowers to the show bench) use the position of the
the tag to place the stalk on the bench. A judge may opine that the best
side was not displayed properly, but may not reposition the flower.
