TOP VASE COMPETITION RULES 2010.
1 The Top Vase class is for a vase of mixed flowering
stems containing a total of between 5 and 10, taken from a minimum of two different kinds of plants. Please note that it is two different KINDS of plants, two varieties of the same plant are NOT
two kinds. 2 The display is
judged out of a total of 35 points, split into: 25 points for the colour, form, condition, quality and freshness of the flowers
on display, and 10 points for the overall presentation and effect of the flowers in the vase. The vase will
be viewed from all directions. Judging of flowers should be to the normal rules used for other classes. 3 Stems used in the display must be showing flowers only;
no seed heads or berries will be allowed. 4
The vase can be any shape and size and made from any material, but must be in proportion to the display. No marks are awarded
for the vase itself. 5 No accessories
such as bows and additional foliage will be allowed. Foliage which is growing naturally from the flowering stem, and still
attached to that stem, is allowed. Packing material - including florists’ foam - to keep the stems in place is allowed.
NOTES FOR EXHIBITORS AND JUDGES
*Flowering stems can be taken from ANY flowering plant. *
The different kinds of plants need to be taken from different genera. For instance, pinks, carnations and sweet william -
which are all dianthus - would not be classed as different kinds. * Use only fresh, home-grown flowers.
No dried or silk flowers allowed. *A vase, by definition, is any vessel that can be used to hold cut
flowers and which is taller than it is wide at its widest point. * The Garden News Top Vase class
is open for anyone to enter and is not intended purely for growers who regularly display in single species classes at shows. *
Judges should use their discretion when judging the Top Vase class, bearing in mind that the entries may come from inexperienced
exhibitors. * Please note that the display has to be viewed all round. * The points
awarded should be clearly marked by the judges on the exhibitors’ cards. * Any queries that may
arise, regarding anything other than the above rules, should be referred to, and decided by, the show officials. Failure to abide by any of these rules
will lead to disqualification.
Reviews
Summer Show 11th July 2009
Well on a busy Saturday which saw events and festivals in Danbury, Little Baddow and
the neighbouring villages we were thrilled once again to have a super Summer
Flower Show.
Traditionally the Summer Show is always our smallest show each year, but nonetheless
members filled the Memorial Hall with an abundance of roses, flowers, produce, cookery and floral art.
We welcomed Rev.Chris Poulard who not only presented the prizes but also chose the winners of The Greatrex Trophy and
The Walton Cup. The former went to Joan Brazier whose flower arrangement he described as “like a painting”, and
the Junior cup went to Jessica Shipley who had produced an edible hedgehog which was “just right”.
We welcome first time exhibitors!
If you would like to try your hand at showing your produce and are unsure how to proceed, a member of our committee or
the Show Secretary can give you some pointers.
All the Classes are listed here and you can e-mail your questions to us too!
