I'm planning to grow some chrysanths this year for the local competition. I've tried googling exhibition vases with no luck whatsoever!

It says that some place provide the vases and there a couple of contacts for if you want your own.  Good luck with it!

However, the entrants all seem to take it VERY seriously indeed!!!! It's going to be my first attempt at growing them, let alone showing them, so at the end of the day, mine may not even be up to muster!

  Reply | Contact  I'd contact the organisers and check you really do need to buy them as most local shows, even those with just a couple of trestle tables in the church hall seem to have their own. If you do need to buy them, it might be worth seeing if other people who'll be competing would like to share an order with you and I'm sure the people running the show will have an idea where the vases are usually obtained from. Whether you think you can do a thing, or think you cannot, you are right.
