The Siuslaw Rhododendron Society is having a spring Rhododendron Flower Show at the Florence Events Center on May 18th and 19st. For more information go to: http://www.siuslawars.org
The Siuslaw Chapter Flower Shows are a judged show. We strongly encourage all chapter members and the community at large to participate by bringing many entries. Our aim is to educate and introduce to the show viewers the many selections available in the Rhododendron world. We believe the larger the presentation the greater the learning.
Entries to the show are accepted on Saturday morning from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM. An entry card must be filled out for each entry entered. Entry cards may be obtained at a chapter meeting just before each flower show or at the flower show on Saturday morning. To save time, you may want to use one of your “stick on” mailing return address labels in the entry card name and address section.
Viewing of the show is open to the public – without charge – as soon as judging is completed. (Typically, around 12:00 – 12:30 PM) On Saturday the show will be open to the public until 5:00 PM. On Sunday the show is open from 10:00 AM until 5:00 PM.
Entries and any ribbons may be retrieved no sooner than 4:30 PM Sunday. Only the person who delivers the entry will be allowed to remove it without previous arrangements. All entries remaining at 5:00 PM will be removed by the show break-down committee.
A Rhododendron Flower Show is a great place to find what flowers would look great in your garden! The Siuslaw Chapter also has an outdoor plant sale during both shows. Many selections of Rhododendrons and Azaleas are available for a reasonable price. You can usually get access to the plant sale around 10:00 AM on both Saturday morning and Sunday Morning. (Cash, check, or credit card.)
