Dundee Flower Show 4-6th September The 2009 Dundee Flower Show was held at Camperdown Park from Friday 4th September to Sunday 6th September. Unfortunately the weather was somewhat unkind to the organisers, the exhibitors and the public - we had over 24 hours non-stop rain preceding the show and conditions inside the marquee were simply horrendous. Take a look at the video clip below Nevertheless, the chrysanthemum exhibitors made the effort resulting in a show which exceeded all expectations. The premier class in the show is the Scottish Championship - The Andrew Pinkerton Trophy - for four vases of disbudded blooms in four distinct cultivars. There were three entries this year, Dave Scott was victorious with John Wingfield plus honey and salmon sports and Millennium. Dave's entry was judged Best Exhibit and his Salmon John Wingfield was selected as Best Vase in Show. Paul Barlow was second with Billy Bell and yellow sport, Lynn Johnson and pink John Wingfield. Robert Jackson was third with Cornetto, candy and salmon John Wingfield and Chempak Rose. In the medium Section the class for 3 vases of five blooms was won by Paul Barlow (John Wingfield, Red Chempak Rose and Millennium). Ian Gerrie won the class for 6 vases of three medium blooms with Yellow John Wingfield (2), plus pink salmon and John Wingfield and Carlene Welby. The class for 3 vases of three blooms was won by Jim Hosie with Woolley Globe, Cornetto and Lorna Wood. In the single vase of Large intermediate Paul Barlow was first with Lynn Johnson. Walter Robertson was successful with single vases of three and five Yellow John Wingfield, winning best vase of three in show and best vase of five outside championship classes. Sprays Callum Smith was second and used honey and rose Enbee Wedding plus Braodway Mandy, Myss Goldie, Southway Sheeba and Pennine Swan. The same two exhibitors contested the three vase class. Walter was placed first again with vases of Oriel plus primrose and yellow sports while Callum (2nd) used Myss Goldie along with rose and primrose Enbee Wedding.
