Michele, thank you so much for posting those pictures! Unfortunately I know absolutely nothing about a daylily show, so I don't know what a purple ribbon means. Is it a "Best ..." award, or a second place and the blue is first place? I have to say that I am very impressed by the number of daylilies entered -- amazing! And the "off scape" display looks really fantastic -- is that part of the competition, or just a display to show off the flowers? Maybe I'll find a daylily show sometime somewhere so I can see what it's all about...
And congratulations for your "Best Extra Large Flower" award! That's fantastic!
