FlowerTrials: The Unofficial Awards
The unexpected highlights from the trials
So, we had the official FleuroStar Awards, where Digitalis purpurea Hanabee F1 White by Takii Europe / Florensis took home first prize; then we had my People’s Choice Awards, where YOU predicted that this Digitalis would win (aren’t you quite the fortune tellers?); and now we have the Unofficial Awards, which are my highlights and unseen bits from the FlowerTrials - the bits that only attendees usually get to see!
