RE: Design section from the Seattle African Violet Show

| I went to my first area convention last March. It was the first time I had seen design. I didn't understand it, some of it I didn't even like. It was later that I learned there was a theme involved and then some of the designes made more sense to me. A couple months later we had a guest speaker come to our violet club meeting to give us a design workshop. It was great. I didn't know there was so much involved and so many rules. I don't think I have it in me to do a design for a show, but in November we all made a table centerpiece design at home and brought it to our violet club meeting. It was fun, there were no rules so one lady didn't even have a violet or gesneriad plant in her design...so I guess that is why there should be rules. They were so different, we decided not to vote on the best one. Thanks for sharing the pics - do you remember what the theme was? tish |

Thanks for sharing your photos.I love the arrangement with the blue bell blossoms . Do they bury the plants in their pots so they can keep them pot bound to bloom ?

| I think they would leave them in pots if they were going to stay in the dish garden for any length of time..those beautiful tiny blue bell flowers are teeny bopper...:0).marigene |

Thank you marigene. A dish garden like that one with teeny bopper is something one would like to keep blooming and around for a while. I like the dark blue with the dark leaves. I wonder if the blooms last long.
