RE: Flowers from the San Diego County Fair in Del Mar, Inspiration and Another New Product
Nice coverage of the flower show. I don't think we will make it to the SD Fair this year... All our weekends through the end of the month are booked :(
Bummed because I really enjoy the Bonsai exhibit that is usually there.
And I have no idea how they judge the single cut flowers either; especially if they are all the same type. It must come down to subjective appeal, or maybe the rarity of the color, or?
The bonsai exhibit was really awesome. One was 35 years old and probably as tall as me in a gigantic pot. They were all behind glass though, so photographing them didn't do them justice.
Coloring is definitely a part of it, a few of the categories were specific shades. But some of the more stunning patterns and variations got scored lower so it must also have to do with how the leaves grow or something lol.
