I had a great time and the friend I brought, who just came along for the ridse, had fun too and learned a lot. She bought two citrus, tweo kiwis and a camellia.
Can't wait 'til next year!

This is the " Best in Show" trophy I won yesterday at the Expo for my entry of " Sweet Betty" orange. I got budwood for this cultivar from a guy in Talahassee Fla long before the quarantine was in effect. Sweet Betty was sure sweet yesterday.. first time I ever won a trophy at the Citrus Expo! Grandkids are helping me show off my win!

What a darling photo, Stan! Not sure what you should be more proud of - the award or those adorable 5 grandkiddos. So, what citrus is in the background behind you all? And the tree to the left in the background? Is that Flying Dragon, or just a pretty deciduous tree of some sort?

Dr> Powell was an excellent speaker. I feel fortunate for a newbie that I was able to attend! |
