fermi de Sousa:
Otto lent me his memory card so I could post some pics to the Forum of the FCHS October Show.
Since these pics were also on it, I've taken the liberty of posting them as well!
Firstly, a working-bee to prepare the old Quarry Rock Garden to become a native plant garden


Then go and choose a good selection of new plants




Then plant them out - with protection from varmints!


cheers
fermi on behalf of Otto

fermi de Sousa:
Next, you select some of your (Otto's) plants for a display.
Iris acutiloba


Iris samariae hybrid


Tulipa scardica


A Paeonia suffruticosa raised from seed, 2m tall after 12 years.




An orchid or two:
Calanthe striata ssp sieboldii


Cypripedium formosanum


cheers (more to come!)

fermi de Sousa:
After you label your display as set out on a bench


You can admire the "floor garden" of Native Australian Flora from a nursery in Cranbourne, no Lesley, not the RBG annex.






And enjoy the rest of the show.






cheers
fermi on behalf of Otto.

fermi de Sousa:
BTW those aren't fluoroscent lights in the ceilling in the last shots; this was a purpose built hall with natural lighting so that you don't usually need a flash to take a photo inside on a good day! Try convincing the church hall committees to do the same!
cheers
fermi

Maggi Young:
Huge thanks to Otto and Fermi for this joint production!
What a lovely looking show in such a good hall. I'm particulalry impressed by that great floor display, very neatly done... though I don't like the big labels but I realise the reason forthem.

Fave pic has to be of Otto's Iris acutiloba.....who wouldn't love that plant? :-*
