For your ease of entering, to streamline the process, and to save your blood pressure, do yourself a favor. Identify any plant or cut specimen you might enter in advance of the show. Call Martha Marsh, Robin Schachat, or Suzy Hartford for help. Take a closeup of the entry on your phone and send it to us. We will do our best to help you figure out what it is.

And that seems intimidating and mysterious.

Read MoreIn June, Cathy Miller and I entered an invitational two-sided arrangement class in the GCA Major Show in Chicago, The Show of Summer. A two-sided design is in itself VERY difficult, and because the class was invitational, we found ourselves among some of the hottest shots in the country. Oh dear....
Read MoreSummer Solstice, Tuesday, June 21, 2016, was the date of our GCA Flower Show at McGregor Home celebrating our 100 years as a garden club. Our show was open to the public on Wednesday, June 22nd and Thursday, June 23rd. Thanks to a huge team effort, our show was a great success and we should all be very proud of a job well done. A one-word theme shone throughout the entire show and that was talent! Our club has it in abundance.

Thanks to the tireless work of many talented ladies and dedicated garden clubs, flower arranging has been transformed from a hobby into an art. Nevertheless, the novice should not be daunted by the apparent complexity of it all. Success is guaranteed if one always keeps in mind that, whether the arrangement is to be presented in a formal show or in an informal house setting, the goals one should be aiming to achieve are: envy, grudging praise, and imitation by rivals.
