The City of Rhododendrons is living up to its name. Flowers are in abundance all over town and we are anxious to share them at our annual EARLY RHODODENDRON SHOW.
As usual, we have been delt the yearly array of weather possibilities, but Rhodies are resilient and should be at their best for the SHOW. This is open to everyone at no cost and we encourage you to bring your beautiful trusses to the Florence Events Center between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. Saturday the 26th of April. Our members will be on hand to assist in identification and placement of your prize-winning entrees.
A few basic guidelines to follow: select a truss with the straightest stem and the most completely open flowers but not past their prime. A full collar of leaves with minimal damage is as important as the flowers themselves. Remember, everyone has had the same weather so don’t worry about them being perfect. This is your chance to win a blue ribbon or even a great, rare trophy.
There will also be a plant sale during the Show. This is your opportunity to find that special Rhody you’ve been looking for to add to your collection.
If you have any questions, please call the chapter President at 541-579-5544 or email Day817 [at] outlook.com (Day817[at]outlook[dot]com)
