Al,
This year they had a very conservative Japanese judge. A stand was highly recommended.
I think best of show went to an Azalea and the gold cup went to a dwarf japanese maple(kytohime?)by Bill Valvanis. Bill donated a spectacular Trident Maple to the Gardens.
It's about 3' tall with a 6"-7" trunk.I have alot of picts. I'll pick them up and scan them as maybe tommorrow.
Ceberon,
I know. I spent a some money there. I bought this one nifty sprayer called a Yorkey from Japan. It connects to a plastic pop bottle and you can use it anywhere.
