Photography: Division IV
Photography: Classes I & II
HEAVENLY
Trellis: Color: Entry 1
Jude Kelly of The Virginia Beach Garden Club [Novice]
First Place and Certificate of Excellence in Photography
This is an elegant photo that truly draws the viewer’s eye through the trellis to the fountain. The
lively contrasts are interesting as are the blurred edges. The symmetry of the photo might be
strengthened by a tighter crop to narrow the visual scene.
Maymont – Richmond, Virginia
Ann Steele of the Three Chopt Garden Club [Novice]
Honorable Mention
The clean crisp contrast of the trees and their angular shapes makes this a pleasing photo.
While unavoidable, the yellow rope distracts from the lovely natural scene.
New York City, New York
Peyton Wells of The Tuckahoe Garden Club
This is a pleasing view of a trellis with the interesting perspective from above. The shot might be
strengthened by a tighter crop to emphasize the depth of the trellis.
Washington, D.C.
Trellis: Color Macro: Entry 1
Ann Steel of The Three Chopt Garden Club [Novice
This is a crisp shot with good contrast of color showing shape of an interesting trellis. The photo
could be improved by a tighter crop to enhance just the lovely shape of the hard trellis against the
softness of the flowers.
Richmond, Virginia
Trellis: Macro Color: Entry 2
Peyton Wells of the Tuckahoe Garden Club
Honorable Mention
This is an interesting contrast of light and dark with a surprise in the shadow! It is a pleasing
composition with the only distraction being the green tie.
Richmond, Virginia
Photography: Classes III & IV
MEDUSA’S FOLLY
Garden Statuary: Color: Entry 1
Second Place
This is a splendid contrast of textures and light with a good interpretation of theme. A
clipping of the green leaves on the right would make this a more powerful photo.
Ann Steele of The Three Chopt Garden Club [Novice]
This photo has a pleasing balance of soft and hard with complimentary shades of green
trying it all together. The bench in the background is a bit distracting, so a closer crop might
improve the drama of the shot.
Richmond, Virginia
Peyton Wells of The Tuckahoe Garden Club of Westhampton
First Place
The imaginative composition and moodiness of the cloudy day juxtapose the “folly” of the
pigeon. The contrasts are clean an crisp, making a strong statement.
Jardin Luxembourg, Paris, France
Garden Statuary: Monochrome: Entry 1
Third Place
The photographers angle in this image is thoughtful and well placed with the angle of the
roof line drawing the eye in further to the bear, leading you to wonder where the icy fellow
is looking. Although not in keeping with garden statuary theme, in the traditional sense, in
this chilly image, the play of light on the ice is lovely and lends itself well to black and white.
Beaver Creek, Colorado
Second Place
The composition and framing in this age is lovely, the foliage on either side provides a nice
balance. Perhaps a lower shooting angle would have allowed us to see more of the cerub’s
face and some sky, giving the image a sense of time of day.
Richmond, Virginia
Kimberly DeCamp of The Garden Club of Lexington
First Place
A lovely image; tightly cropping the framing draws in the focus completely on the child holding
the rabbit. The choice of photographing stone follows the theme. An image that communicates
well!
Lexington, KY
Photography: Classes V & VI
ZEUS’S DOMAIN
Mountain/Sky/Weather: Color: Entry 1
Tricia Sauer of The Tuckahoe Garden Club
Second Place
Vibrant colors and the silhouetting of the house make this a striking image, that draws the
eye. Photographing as the sun rises or sets allows the viewer to have a sense of time. In
this image the house gives a sense of location and depth. The rule of thirds could have
been nice here, creating more emphasis on the nice black lines in the foreground.
Susan Lendermon of The Augusta Garden Club
Third Place
Rainbows can be difficult to capture and present as standing out well against an often grey
and bland sky. This is well executed and composed. The rounding tree in the foreground,
underneath the rainbow, lends this photograph towards a Fibonacci spiral, a visually
appealing way to draw in the viewer.
Lahaina,Hhawaii
Kimberly DeCamp of The Garden Club of Lexington [Novice]
Honorable Mention
A wonderful choice of clouds to capture. Despite being prolific in the sky, some clouds are much
more worthy of being photographed; the case here displaying both depth , texture and color. This
composition would gain dominance if more of the trees had been shown to frame the clouds.
Boca Grande, Florida
Honorable Mention
The mixing of warm and cool tones makes this image particularly soothing and pleasing to
the eye. A calming image. The pinch of orange light visible through the tree line is enticing;
it would have perhaps been nice to include a little more of this color. The photographer did
a commendable job creating an image which is pleasing to view.
Jennifer Sisk of The Tuckahoe Garden Club of Westhampton [Novice]
First Place and Best In Show and Virtual Flower Show Novice Award in Photography
This is a special image that allows you to discover details each time you look at it. The rule
of thirds is well applied here and the angle of the land is superior. Wonderful composition.
Axum, Ethiopia Africa
Honorable Mention
The line of distinction between the warm tones of the clouds and the cool color of the sky
creates an exciting contrast . The image successfully displays a solid range of color, texture
and time.
A vertical composition, which included more of the trees, could have provided a more
balanced photograph and helped to move the composition towards the rule of thirds.
Richmond, Virginia
Mountain/Sky/Weather: Monochrome: Entry 1
Second Place
It is hard to capture the moon with enough light to create a sense of location in foreground or
bottom portion of image. The composition choice to include the trees is a strong one; the stand
alone tree creates a strong vertical line that leads back to the moon. Perhaps a lower angle would
have strengthened the composition by allowing the horizon line to shift up adding strength in the
foreground while maintaining the position of the moon above the trees. Pretty Image!
Gloucester, Virginia
Botanical Arts: Division V
Botanical Arts: Class I
DIANA MOON GODDESS AND GODDESS
OF THE HUNT

Narcissus: Daffodil; Acer nigrum: Black maple fruit; Hydrangea: Hortensia
Anne Poarch of The Tuckahoe Garden Club of Westhampton [Novice]

Sweetgum Tree fruit ‘Gumball’; Campisis radicans: Trumpet Vine; Iris: iris;
Terri Allen of Richmond, Virginia [Novice]
Third Place
Notable and comprehensive understanding of Diana as the moon Goddess. Distinguished
by its fresh approach. The Dominance of the amulets adversely affects the proportion.
Vinca major ‘variegata’: Vinca Major Variegated; Hibiscus syriacus pod: Rose of Sharon pod;
Narcissus: Daffodil;
Botanical Arts: Class II
THE MIDAS TOUCH
Midas: Ring: Entry 1
Tricia Sauer of The Tuckahoe Garden Club of Westhampton [Novice]
Third Place
Nice rhythm achieved by pattern and texture in design. A bold statement for royalty.
Overpowering elements in the staging diminish the impact of design
Midas: Ring: Key Card: Entry 1
Betula nigra: River Birch; Liquidamber stryraciflue: Sweetgum; Pinus strobus: Eastern White pine;
Pleurococcus: Lichen; Syzygium aromaticum: Cloves; Cladonia rangiferina: Reindeer Moss.

PANDORA’S BOX
Pandora’s Jewelry Box: Entry 1
Page Wells of Richmond, Virginia [Novice]

Acer nigrum: Black Maple fruit; Hydrangea: Hortensia; Pinus strobus: Easten White Pine;

Strong sense of symmetrical balance. Clean and sharp lines. Flow of design
and transition between elements interrupted.

Juglans nigra: Black Walnut; Juglan daceae ‘Carya Texana’: Black Hickory Fruit; Corus kousa
or Benthamidia kousa: Kousa Dogwood Berry; Cryptomeria japonica ‘Yoshino’: Japanese

THE TITIANS: THE SECOND DYNASTY
AND HOW THEY CHANGED THE WORLD
Page Wells of Richmond, Virginia [Novice]
First Place [Youth Division]
This beautifully describes the challenges we face today regarding
production of energy and how that production affects our environment.
This splendidly demonstrates a commitment to advocacy as one thing
we can all do.
THE TITANS: ENTRY 1
The Titans
What is your contribution to the
earth’s legacy for further generations
in the field of conservation?
What is one thing every one of us
could do to impact the earth in a
positive way?
I’m going to let people know about
Renewable and Non Renewable energy. We are
using a lot of Non Renewable energy and that is
becoming a bad habit for the U.S.A... Unregulated
excessive use of Non Renewable energy has put
out a lot of bad pollution in China. Right now lots
of people in China have to stay inside because of
the pollution levels. More than eight million acres
of China farmland is too polluted for crops to grow
in. It’s too polluted with heavy metals and other
chemicals for plants to grow. We need to not be
like the Chinese and pollute our land.
Land is sometimes Renewable; like when
you plant crops in the land that would be
considered Renewable. Land is also Non
Renewable because there are limited amounts
of land. Big cities like New York City are a good
example; there is only so much space, and as
the land is built upon it becomes more valuable
because of the scarcity. You can’t create more
land. We should start using more Renewable
resources like Biomass, nuclear power,
compressed natural gas, geothermal power,
radiant energy, hydroelectricity, wind power,
wave power, and tidal power.
It will help us to not pollute our land and
it will make a better planet. Using renewable
energy sources will also save many animals,
endangered or not. Due to over use of Non
Renewable energy sources we are losing many
animals around the world, like frogs and other
small creatures; they help the world in a big
way. We should try to protect them by changing
our habits in our use of Non- Renewable and
Renewable energy sources.
One thing every one of us could do to
help the earth is to tell someone about
Renewable and Non Renewable energy. For
example, I would tell people that Non
Renewable energy can be used once but never
again, therefore we should think of ways to
conserve our Non Renewable energy sources.
For example, if you live five minutes away from
a grocery store you should walk or ride a bike
to conserve the gas, which is a Non Renewable
energy source, which is used by your car.
I would tell people that Renewable
energy sources can be used over and over
again. Therefore, we should think of ways to
start using more Renewable energy sources
over our Non Renewable energy sources. For
example, one could use geothermal energy,
which is heat from the ground, to heat one’s
home instead of using the Non Renewable
energy sources, Gas, Oil or Coal.
My legacy to the earth is the spreading of
the message to conserve Non Renewable energy
were you can, and embrace Renewable energy
programs where possible. The one thing each
one of us can do is spread this idea and put into
practice the above edicts in our own individual
lives.
Susan Lendermon of The Augusta Garden Club [Novice]
Second Place [Adult Division]
This visually and verbally, pleasing entry, conveys the admirable stewardship
of the entrant. This would have received higher points in interpretation and
distinction if the second question had been addressed. That question asked
“What was one thing everyone of us could do to impact the earth in a
positive way.”
THE TITANS: ENTRY 2
My grandfather bought 144 acres in the George
Washington National Forest in the 1930s. This
land had a hotel on it at one time and was
located close to the Stokesville railroad hub. We
have taken pains to keep it close to its original
condition, with just a small cabin and a couple of
sheds on the property.
•About 100 acres is located on the Narrowback
Mountain ridge in western Augusta County, very
close to Hearthstone Dam.
•The other 40+ acres are relatively flat, along a
creek which is a branch of North River.
The creek is home to several species of fish, including the native brook
trout. We often find crawfish in this area in the summer.
A native sage often blooms late summer.
Close-up of the sage
The flowers were very prolific with all the rain
last summer. We are careful not to disturb them.
The creek never dries up completely, but there is
definitely less water later in the summer.
One of two small ponds – home
to many tadpoles and frogs.
A wildflower blooming in the spring
The understory of the forest.
We have a small footlog across the water.
Close-up of the footlog.
Another section of the creek bed. We practice catch and release fishing only,
and cut the barbs off the hooks so as not to harm the fishes’ mouths. A few
areas have deeper water, and we saw several large schools of trout this fall.
The native ferns are amazing!
A few of the ferns were still alive at Thanksgiving.
We have about an acre that we mow to allow for recreation.
The other 143 acres are left to nature’s devices.
A view down through the woods.
We have a number of huge old oaks and
poplars, along with many Virginia pines.
My father contracted for a small amount of logging about 15 years ago to
take down some diseased hemlocks to allow the other trees more light.
We have a wide variety of wildlife on our
property, including deer, owls and
whippoorwills.
We saw a raccoon asleep in his den while
hiking about a year ago.
We also saw our first bear this past summer.
We’ve seen evidence of them in the past –
they ripped screens on our porches, but this
is the first year we’ve actually seen one.
We do not allow hunting, so the wildlife are
free to roam.
This is my favorite place for R&R. We have no TV or internet, so we
reconnect and unwind while walking in the woods.
The water gurgling over the rocks
makes it easy to sleep at night.
We have two sons who have spent
considerable time in the mountains their
whole lives. We’ve also brought many of
their friends out for some time in the
great outdoors.
We hike around, hang out in the water,
play board games, and reconnect as a
family over weekends and holidays across
the years of our lives.
This is our legacy for our sons – we’ve left
it so that remains in our family
indefinitely.

A Judge’s Commendation is awarded to Peyton Wells as designer and producer of The
Virtual Flower Shows, for exceptional merit of the concept, implementation of that concept,
ingenuity of schedule, and over all success.
Virtual Flower Show Awards
The Cunningham Medal may be awarded in competitive flower arrangement classes in a
Virtual Flower Show. It is offered in recognition of creative work of outstanding beauty using
predominately fresh plant material. A standard of creativity and quality in a highly competitive
show rather than Best in Show is required. The arrangement must have placed first, second, or
third.
The Buckingham Medal may be awarded in a competitive flower arrangement class in a Virtual
Flower Show. The Arrangement must be innovative, modern design, creatively combining
an-made material(s) with fresh and/or dried plant material (as schedule permits). Either
individual or joint entries are eligible. The entry must have placed first, second, or third.
The Creativity Award will be given for an innovative and interpretive entry which, goes beyond
traditional period arrangement to whatever art form the arranger(s) chooses. The arrangement
must have placed first, second or third in the flower arrangement division of the Virtual Flower
Show. The award is not a substitute for Best in Show and will be given at the discretion of the
judges.
The Bradshaw Medal of Excellence may be awarded to entrants of a Virtual Flower Show in
competitive flower arrangement classes. It is offered in recognition of an arrangement of great
distinction in a competitive class. Either an individual or joint entries are eligible. The entry must
have placed first, second, or third.
The Peyton Wells Novice Award may be given in a Virtual Flower Show to an individual exhibitor
who has never won first place or a Novice Award in a Flower Arrangement Division of any Flower
Show. It shall be awarded to an individual novice exhibitor for a unique and skillful response to
the schedule. Novice entries placing first, second or third, in any competitive class are eligible
for this award
The Leila Hallock Jones Medal may be awarded in a competitive horticulture class in a Virtual Flower Show. The Medal is
to be awarded to an entry presented with distinction and originality notable for its cultural difficulty. It must have achieved
an exceptional standard of horticultural excellence. Extra consideration will be exhibitor for at least six months. The
medal may be awarded for a single plant, collection of plants, container garden, or cut specimen(s). Individual or joint
entries are eligible. The entry must have placed first, second, or third. The medal may not be awarded more than once to
he same exhibit.
The Martha Fleming Moore Horticulture Propagation Award may be awarded in a Virtual Flower Show to an entrant for
skill in plant propagation. The exhibit must have been propagated and grown by its exhibitor for at least twelve months and
should be distinguished by its prime condition, cultural perfection, attractive presentation and flawless grooming. It is for r
rooted plants propagated by seed, its offspring, or a collection. Propagation methods must be detailed on an
accompanying card.
The Sue Thompson Horticulture Award may be presented to a horticulture entry of exceptional visual appeal that reflects
the spirit of growing with joy and enthusiasm and inspires others to propagate, grow, show and share horticulture. An
exhibit that has been propagated by the exhibitor will be given special consideration but propagation is not a requirement.
Perfection, while always desirable, is not a primary criterion. This award celebrates the joy inherent in the beauty and
pursuit of horticulture. It could be the entry that would win the popular vote, but not necessarily the Leila H. Jones Medal o
r the blue ribbon. Its primary virtue shall be its exceptional and exuberant inspiration.
