Flowers and fun at Victorian Country Dahlia Championships and Annual Flower Show

Club president Rodney Clarke said it was one of the biggest shows it had ever had, with people travelling from across the state for the event.

“The show was magnificent,” Mr Clarke said.

“There were 17 exhibitors and 368 blooms on the bench.”

Mr Clarke said flower-growers competed in several different sections, from junior and novice to intermediate and open.

“Despite being a bad year for growing it was a great turn out,” he said.

“We fell in love with the flowers 20 years ago, now we’ve had about 19 or 20 shows,” Mr Clarke said.
