Humboldt Society Members and Friends,
Just a friendly reminder about this upcoming meeting this Thursday March 13th. Hope to see you there. Click the Meetings tab above for details.
I hope everyone went to The Philadelphia Flower Show this year. It was a great event. Many of our own members were involved with the Show and some even exhibited their plants in the competitive section of Horticultural Court.
There were also memorial plants from Pat DiSanto’s orchid collection, including one named for him. This brought joy and tears to his partner Ernie Masso, and other HS members who miss Pat’s enthusiasm.
Delton Lewis entered plants and won Third, Second and First Place Ribbons in the Orchid Classes.
Michael LoFurno and myself entered many plants in the Hort Court. Some say too many. Well, this major undertaking would not have been possible without the constant help on Anthonyy Giunta, Delton Lewis, Michael Thompson, Tony Niznik and Adam Levine.
There certainly was lots of eye candy at the Show. After 3 days of judging, PHS added up the points and did a grand total. Turns out that Michael came in 20th Place out of over 200+ exhibitors with many ribbons while I finished in Fourth place with over 200+ plant entries. Hope you enjoyed the Show. I will bring an article from South Philly Review about Michael Lofurno, myself and some of the plants we entered into the Show to the meeting.
