Thank you soooooo much for these gorgeous photos. Now I've reallllly got violet fever!!! Love that Buckeye Seductress, gotta find that one.
Isn't George a sweetie. Just love him and his wife.
Now that I know what you look like it will be easier to find you. You are beautiful, and so YOUNG.

You'll prolly be able to get Buckeyte Seductress direct from Pat Hancock--She'll be there selling her stuff ;-)
Yes, George is the BEST! His wife is nice to tho I have only really met her briefly.
And awwww shucks thanks, but I dunno about "beautiful" LOL :-p
Oh My Goodness, Thank you so much for sharing your photo's from the show! Wow! What Beauties!
I love that first AV "Jersey Snowflake" ... a gorgeous plant. And, Jersey Blue Moonlight ... wow, pretty flowers and look at the size of those leaves!
I had a Frozen in Time once, one of my favorites. There sure are a lot of beauties there ... hard to choose a favorite. I really love that little purple flowering "Little Sweetheart" too!
The "Gardens" are really great! I didn't even know they had entries like that in a show! I thought it was strictly single displayed plants! I so hope I'm able to attend a show someday!
I've thought about turning my 10 gal Terrarium into just Gessie's! I'm going to be tearing it down and re-doing it sometime before long ... hopefully before spring. I might just have to consider that! Love it! Thanks again for sharing your pictures with us! Can't wait to see the ones you take at the next show!
Thanks Planylady glad you enjoyed.
Yup there are dish gardens and natural plantings at shows, and also a design category. I didn't get any pics of the design entries which was pretty stupid of me.. But those are cool too I will try and remember to get pics of those at MAAVS.
What a great group of pictures! Thank you for showing them!
Can't wait to see more blooming show beauties!
Ok, I will take one each of the AV's! It is good to know that my Irish Flirt and Ness' Satin Rose are just about the right size. Fairy Fountains & Chilly Willy have some growing to do! It is also good to see that leaves Rebel's Zippy Zena curl up a bit for other people, too!
I want one of each! They are all so beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Nice pics thanks for sharing. It's amazing what wonderful plants are grown for show! I wish even a couple of mine would look like that. I wonder what those hybridizer and plant guys/gals must think of us...star struck over who they are! In Sept I met Thad Scaggs and Nancy Kast...I was so excited! I wondered what Fred Hill looked like, I've been emailing him on and off for a couple years now with plant questions, so thanks for posting that. I used to have irish flirt, it was quite a bloomer but it just keeep suckering itself to death poor thing.

Lily--I had the pleasure of hanging out with Thad Skaggs at National convention this past may, he was a real sweetie,. And I didn't even find out until recently that he hybridizes those episcia thingies or whatever they're called LOL
Wow,they are gorgeous.That Petrocosmea - Rosettifolia is certainly an unusual looking Gessie.
Beautiful photos and the Planet Kid has a perfect halo of blossoms. I plan on being at the maavs convention early on Saturday. My plan is to wear my violet color velour hoodie outfit so if you see me, Please say hi.
