My entries in the JHS Flower Show 2009
This year I was persuaded to take in some plants for entry in the Jamaica Horticultural Society Flower Show 2009, which was this past weekend. I managed to persuade my aunt to enter some plants also.
These were my entries:
Aloe "Pepe" descoingii x haworthioides
- earned a third place award.
Echinopsis calochlora
Second place award for
Euphorbia aeruginosa
.
Surprise for me!
Euphorbia baioensis got a first place ribbon
Euphorbia debilispina
Gymnocalycium damsii
Haworthia attenuata 'variegata'
Third place for the Mammillaria beneckei.
My aunt's two plants took first and second.
No award for this Sansevieria scabrafolia
This Agave got a red ribbon - second place
Not sure if I want to do it again next year but it was a good experience and I haven't ruled it out yet. Still have quite some time to think about it and be more prepared if I decide to go again.

Thanks. The Agave has at least ten little ones so I hope to take off some offsets when they are a bit bigger.

I just gave away my Agave desmettiana variegata (the one in your last pic) to my local nursery as a holiday gift in December and I'm already regretting it. The only reason I did is because they're one of the least cold-hardy agaves I've owned, and get major damage outdoors here in zone 9A/8B.
