FLOWER SHOW 2013
Cupar’s Flowers Flourish Again
There was a steady stream of visitors from far and wide to the Cupar and District Floral and Horticultural Society’s annual flower show at the weekend. The show now in its 102nd year was held in the Corn Exchange and attracted new exhibitors to the show, providing a fabulous spectacle and one of the most colourful and attractive floral displays to date for those attending.
The Show, opened by George Anderson from the BBCs Beechgrove Garden, hosted a gardener’s question time where the audience had the opportunity to glean some insight into problem shrubs and how to deal with bonsai trees from the gardening expert. Mary Law gave a floral arrangement demonstration and created five lovely displays that were later sold in aid of Society funds. The Society would also like to thank the dancers from the Yvonne Gray School of Dance for stepping in at the very last minute to provide numerous dances as our post-opening entertainment.
The garden section saw an increase in new entrants due to the encouragement of the organisers. The judge, Alan Weepers from Leven was impressed by the work and dedication that the exhibitors put into their gardens. Les Wheelans, President, said “that we hope more entries will come forward for next year’s garden judging, as when driving around we see some fantastic looking gardens that could easily be entered into the various competitions (vegetable plot/garden/allotment; garden flower display; cottage garden; landscaped garden; hanging basket/window or patio ornament); so people, please do not be shy about entering”.
The amount and quality of the cut flowers was significantly increased which provided a wonderful array of colour and fragrance in the upper hall for the weekend. The sweet peas, as usual provided a beautifully-coloured rainbow effect, coupled with smelling so fresh. William (Bill) Duff from Balmullo was the winner of the East of Scotland Four Vase Sweet Pea Championship. Amongst other growers, the support from those exhibiting dahlias was phenomenal; red, yellow, white, deep purple were just some of the colours in pompon, mini-pompon and cacti varieties which provided a spectacular display.
The colourful theme continued in the floral art category with a large number of exhibits in each class. The judge had a tough job of selecting the winners as the quality of the exhibits was very high indeed. The best floral exhibit in show, sponsored by Gladys Lundie, Cupar, was awarded to Andy Smith of Balmullo for his fantastic exhibit “A book at bedtime” based on Treasure Island.
Impressed by the quality of this year’s vegetable section, particularly in potatoes, onions and the root vegetable sections, judges awarded the best collection of vegetables was James Lowe of Kelty who also gained the most prizes in the vegetable section.
The industrial section was supported well with a range of home baking, preserves and handicraft section. There was an increase in the amount of entries received for the children’s section but the main class, the miniature garden, sponsored by Margaret Aitken, a former committee member and longstanding supporter of the show, was entered by nearly all of the child exhibitors.
Pupils were required to make a picture from a collection of 6 different grasses with their seed heads. Only St Columbus and Kilmaron submitted entries this year, with the eventual winners being declared as Kilmaron.
Trophies and awards were presented by Elza Fraser, who had helped with the raffle for the 2-days of the show. The generosity of the local businesses through sponsorship or the donation of prizes cannot be emphasised enough; it’s down to them that we are able to award the level of prizes we do.
Other prizwinners:
Guess the Weight of the Cake, sponsored by Fisher & Donaldson: Moira Myles.
Guess the Birthday of the Doll: Josie Rankin.
Hamper: A Dryburgh, Stagecoach.
Guess the Name of the Doll which was ‘Flora’: Fleur Pirie.
Flyer Prize Draw for Watts, Cupar: Olivia Truong-Brown.
President, Les Wheelans would like to express the sincere gratitude to all the competitors, volunteers and helpers, committee members, sponsors, traders and visitors who made the show a success and hopes for even more participation from the community next year.
If you enjoy gardening; create hanging baskets in spring, have a nice patio ornament, maybe have a collection of border flowers, grow your own fruit or vegetables, are good at baking, needlework or floral art, please give consideration to entering next year’s Flower Show.
There are classes for children from the under 5’s to 16 years old – encouragement in gardening and vegetable can help to sustain the environment.
This is a local amateur competition that is open to everyone, of all ages and experience. More information will be available from the show website www.cuparflowershow.co.uk or by contacting Wanda Wheelans, Secretary on 01334 654648.
