The BGS National Part 2


In this part I thought I would just show some different flowers which you may not have seen before. The prim above is called Lady Fiona and was bred by Mick Jones of Enfield.


These three are Flevo Dancer. The one on the left shows good placement and six open which is what a 200 should have. The other two are overflowered. This cultivar tends to open very quickly so its hard to get it just right.


This is Ed's Conquest an American 200 with a very high bud count.


Beauty Of Holland on the left and Cream Perfection in the centre. I introduced Cream Perfection to the U.K. when I ran my glads business. It is a luscious sort of flower.


Three Careless, a nice exhibit that won the three 400s. These were a little short, a problem this year, but still made a good set of three. Notice they are all right handed i.e. the bottom floret is on the right. This makes an exhibit of three look really good.


Esta Bonita, a popular Dutch 500 that is very hard to grow really well as there is often a gap above the first floret as you can see on the right hand side.


Oasis, a Dutch 500 that can bleach out in strong sun and lose its markings, like this one. Nice and early though, so useful for shows before mid August.




Sunset Fire, an American 500, surrounded by Bonfire a Dutch 500. Note the difference in size.
