Hort Club Flower Show I figured it'd be worthwhile to get a picture of the sign this year. |
Tissue Culture Since the event was dedicated to Margaret, a special exhibit had to be created showing off her specialty - cloning through tissue culture. |
Peter Rabbit's House The first display that I saw when I came in, though the angle was bad. |
Hogwarts This year's theme was "fantasy stories", and Harry Potter counted. |
|

Audrey II From Little Shop of Horrors, it was a nice set of paper maché. |
Junk Pile I don't know where this was from. |
Signing the Poster Everybody that knew Margaret had to sign the poster properly. |
Early Visitors The place wasn't supposed to open for an hour, but lots of people had already shown up. |

The Guest of Honor Arrives Margaret was there early; we don't know if she was really aware... |
Mom I don't think she really wanted to be awake yet, but she was happy to come for this. |
Dad and Lori Kae I don't see this kind of pose around Dad too often. |
Dad Poses With Students I always love how happy Dad looks with his students. |
|

Before the Reveal There's a sheet over the display, so nobody knows! Whoo! |
Peter Rabbit The costumes are always fun. |
Waiting for the Reveal The first large group of people... |
Waiting for the Reveal, II ...and the second. Margaret really does have friends. |
|

Opening Speeches The current president of Hort Club started talking about the event overall. |
Margaret's Response She was certainly happy... |
Margaret's Response, II ...and she looked surprised... |
Margaret's Response, III ...so maybe she really was surprised. I dunno. I hope so. |

Margaret Board A full picture of the display. |
Picture of Camera She had her own camera; and I always love taking pictures of people taking pictures of me. |
Handing Over Flowers As an award, she gets...flowers? Okay. |
Dad and the Flower Arrangement I really have no idea why he had Margaret's arrangement. |
|
|

|
Where The Wild Things Are Always a worthwhile children's book. |
Berenstein Bears I had mostly forgotten about these bears before this point. |
Field of Dreams I really liked the costume here. |
Hogwarts House I guess this was supposed to be Hagrid's shack, actually. |
|
|
|
|
||||
|
An Owl Hedwig, I guess? |
Dad's Arrangement As always, it's in a pickle jar. |
Table of Arrangements There were many winners in his category. |
Fat Cat Statue I should have bought that thing. |
|

Peter Rabbit's House Another shot of this interesting display. |
Winning Flowers There were a lot of award-winning arrangements this year. |
Little Shop of Horrors The aprons were a nice touch. |
Dad's A Winner! He was really excited to win his Third Place. |
|
|

|
Dad's A Winner!, II In fact, everybody knew how excited he was... |
Dad's A Winner!, III ...since he was laughing so hard that the entire stock pavilion could hear him... |
Hunny Pots In the Winnie the Pooh section. |
Margaret's Board, Again I had to get a specific shot of it this time. Note: it's got a link to arrogantmentor.com, Margaret's web site! |

Rows of Plants For Sale We actually bought a few this year. |
More Plants For Sale And these are the backups! |
Random Band I'm not really sure how they fit into the equation. Are they for sale too? |
At the Junk Heap I think this was my favorite section. |
|
|

Dad's Flower Arrangement It won third place! Hooray! |
Leafing Through the Pages The Official Display of the event. |
Full Display The tissue culture part turned out a lot better. |
Rabbit's House No Tiggers! |
|
|

|
Even More Plants For Sale They make a good chunk of change during the event... |
Beth and Mark Plotting to organize our garden. Whee! |
Harried Tim Well, not too harried really, but the picture looks it. |
Mark I figured it was a good idea to get a decent shot of him specifically. |
