Thankyou for taking the time to share this with us Mark and this will help me in the future. 😆 Happily watching in North Warwickshire, England. Terry.

Awesome vid! So much better than trying to put it into words. And 6 minutes to stage a vase of 5. Its takes me over half an hour, and a hundred weight of oasis! Lol. Mind you, for anyone showing for the first few times, it's always a good idea to practise at home in the kitchen with some garden blooms until you get confident. Then when you get to the show, you'll be less fingers and thumbs.

If I could grow a few Dahlias that good I'd be well chuffed :-)

Do you have to bring your own vases to the exhibitions? If so where do you buy them?

Hi Dave, where do you buy the show vases?

[@johnoneill6000]

Sorry Mark - got your names mixed up!
