Anthony the Tasmanian has had a lot of experience participating in lily shows. One thing for sure is getting the lily to the show when it's at the height of it's perfection. I'd probably attempt to do that by forcing.
It definitely was an enjoyable outing for the wife and me. After the show, she and I spent several hours (in sweltering heat) roaming and photographing more of Mobot's 74 acres of fascination. We try to get there about once a year, it's like a breath of fresh air (irregardless of heat or not). If it's in the winter we just go to The Climatron, an immense geodesic dome that houses their tropical collection.
A world class botanical park.
