Hello friends,

We are so proud of our friends Ron and Modine Gregory! The Moonstone Queen was a beauty as you will see in the photographs. Could not happen to a nicer couple. Just exquisite...the petals were iridescent, fresh and perfect. Many other Gregory wins are featured in the pictorial. Gerry's (cleanleaf) King and Princess as you will see were amazing as well.

Suzanne Horn as usual knocked the socks off everyone with fantastic entries. Photos of many of her wins are included. Her Shrub Bouquet in particular was bursting with beauty and so very stunning.

Our dear friends Gordy Corwin won Dowager Queen and Gwen Cleary won Victorian Queen. Gordy is NO LONGER a NOVICE now!

Linda Clark of El Cajon is climbing upward fast. Not only in the horticulture arena but in arrangements she won at least two arrangement trophies yesterday! Very impressive.

I have to brag a little about 'Sir Joseph' our sport of Aristocrat. He made his debut at the show. He got a ribbon even at his baby stage - it was so fun to "dress him up and take him to the party"!

My hope is the photographs document the "whole picture" not only of the exquisite entries from everyone who showed up but the great judges, helpers, organizers who make it all happen. Lots of smiles were captured. To everyone we are eternally grateful.

Hope you enjoy the photographs...it was a labor of love.

Bren
