Photo of Another Flower Show is History

Just finished closing down the Boston Flower Show last night. I entered one plant, my ponytail palm, that looks like a camel. It won a Blue Ribbon and a Cultural Certificate from the MA Horticultural Society. It was interesting bringing the show back in the new location but enjoyable anyway.
Here's my prize winner which won in the Class: Plant propagated by the exhibitor, over 1 year old.
I bought the PTP caudex at a cactus and succulent sale from its previous owner 5 years ago. I potted it up and it took two years to root. Another three to actually look show-worthy. The previous owner saw it at the show last week and was impressed! which is almost as good as the blue ribbon.
Did anybody get down to Boston to see the show?
