At The Flower Show 'Oh's And Ah's' Mingle With Fragrance Of Blooms
By GAIL MARSHALL The sweet fragrance of begonias, azaleas, orchids, birds of paradise, and other flowers spread through the rooms of the Masonic lodge on Valencia Ave. 'Oh's and ah's' filtered through soft organ music as throngs of men and women delighted in the colorful array presented by the Coral Gables Garden Club. In salute to the "City Beautiful" on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 24 and 25, the show revolved around the theme, "Flowers in All Their Glory." District 12 Competition in arrangement and horticulture was open for members of District 12 of the Federation of Garden Clubs which extends from Hollywood to Key West. It is the first time the horticulture project has been open to the general public for contributions. Plans for making the show an annual civic event were encouraged by some 3000 enthusiastic visitors, a record crowd. Of particular interest were the roses. Tourists will be surprised to note that all of the roses were grown in Florida. Mrs. S. M. Greene, chairman of the show, was eager to talk about the displays. "Tea roses, originally from Burma, grow quite easily here," she said. "Hybrid teas are more difficult to grow because they are accustomed to a dormant period which Florida's climate can't produce. First Time "This is also the first time roses have ever been entered in arrangement competition," she added. Did you ever see a garden walking? "Mad Hatters" did, for they entered hats made of dried foliage and live flowers. All were beautiful enough for any lady to wear to church on Sunday. Themes of various classes were derived from the names of Gables' streets and businesses. One of the most unique works was the "Little Gableites," arrangements done in miniature. Corsages were displayed on lovely gold umbrellas. Cut flowers and potted plants were also entered for judging. Merchants of Coral Gables contributed many of the prizes and also participated in the Saturday afternoon fashion show. Mrs. M. R. Lovell, garden club president, said the proceeds of the show would go to "establish a permanent garden center in Coral Gables." Its purpose would be to help visitors in horticulture, arrangement and landscaping. Other Uses The club's funds are used for various other projects, too. Each Sunday the gardeners decorate the Veterans Hospital Protestant and Catholic chapels. They also give birthday parties for the vets. Rose bushes have been donated to the City of Coral Gables by the club. Last year, 177 plants were given to the South Florida State Hospital in Hollywood for use in yard therapy. A slat house for growing plants was also built for the hospital. Many of the visitors to the show were oldtimers. One woman looking at a modern abstract arrangement said, "Is that Mrs. Farrar's. I thought so. You get so you know the touch after awhile."
