and finally ............ Best of Show

Guzmania Conifera

This was not worthy - and was entered illegally. It was grown by a commercial grower; he did not own it for the required 6 months prior to the show. The plant is very messy, it leans at a dizzying angle in the pot .......... and it has mineral stains all over. When not in flower .......... it's boring!

From what I've heard - the owner won't be allowed to enter the show next year. Shame ........ shame on you!
