Seeing only part of the show, it's still very clear how successful the this year's operation is. Despite the heat you've been having down there, I don't see heat stress on most of those lilies. I especially expected to see it Kushi Maya, but no.
We normally have few individual florets in our Minnesota shows, too, and now that I see them in mass this time, one big drawback really makes an impact: you never know what the real orientation of the blooms are.
The champion stem is glorious perfection.
