On June 18th, 2016, my wife and I decided to visit a lily show sponsored by the Mid America Regional Lily Society presented at the Missouri Botanical Garden (Mobot) in St Louis.
The show area and number of entries wasn't mind staggering (like the Daffodil World Convention Show we'd attended earlier this spring, also in St Louis). The show consisted of two tables of entries, a table of winner entries, several art type table settings, and an educational exhibit on the way out. We met one of the exhibitors walking in the door, he escorted us for a while, showing off his enties mostly, he related he grows about 300 different lilies (but, wasn't a breeder). Nice guy.
My camera (as I've often lamented these days decides itself weather to produce good pics or not so good pics at/during any particular function or shooting session; this day during the show part isn't my best pictures, but is what I got that early afternoon. (Conversely, after this show we spent several hours viewing Mobot's exulted grounds taking several hundred more pics that for the most part were of substantial better quality; loading those into the database here is one reason I'v been so slow getting this piece into the Lily forum).
At any rate, here's what we got-
Tresor
Twosome
Dot com., Pearl Jennifer, & Vivaldi
Nova Scotia. Heart Balance, & Robinson's Comet
Paul Bunyan, a couple of Night Flyer
Purple Life, Golden Valley, & Golden Splendor
Golden Splendor was one of my favorites there, but was apparently disqualified for 'not open' when the judges went by
Ice Caves (2) and Longidragon Trumpet (2)
Nymph, Silk Road, & Luminaries
Yelloween, Gluhwein. & Allyosee
Suncrest and Kentucky
Concluding part 1 (don't want to inadvertently hit the wrong key and lose it all)...
