Heck, I didn't even show you the two buckets. It was a toss up between keeping the AC cranked to cool some lilies and steaming the bathroom repeatedly to force others to open. A bit of a gamble deciding which ones to take since I wanted to be there on Tuesday to help set up and the judging wasn't until Friday. A couple stems finally decided to make their debut when it was time to go home on Sunday.

They got the 'tub treatment' because I had cut them 2 days earlier so that they would be limp for transport, which was a 3 hour drive. And limp they were! I had to tie Lankon to the luggage cart to get it in the hotel. It's a minor miracle that it did so well. This whole thing was certainly a learning experience ~ a good one. And you get to meet some pretty awesome people Smiling
