(Class 25)
1) The Top Vase class is for the vase of mixed flowers containing a total
of between 5 and 10 stems, taken from a minimum of two different
kinds of plants. It is two different types of plants: two varieties of the
same plant are NOT two kinds.
2) The display will be judged out of a total of 35 points, split into 25
points for colour, form, condition, quality and freshness of flowers on
display and 10 points for overall presentation and effect of the flowers in
the vase. The vase will be viewed from all directions.
3) Stems used in the display must be showing flowers only. No seed
heads or berries allowed...
4) The vase can be any shape or size, made from any material, but must
be in proportion to the display. No marks are awarded for the vase itself.
5) No accessories are allowed, such as bows and additional foliage.
Foliage which is growing naturally form the flowering stem and still
attached to that stem is allowed. Packing material, including florists
foam to keep stems in place is allowed.
NOTE FOR EXIBITORS AND JUDGES
Flowering stems can be taken from ANY flowering plant. The different
kinds of plants need to be taken from different genera. For example,
pinks, carnations and sweet Williams, which are all dianthus, would not
be classed as different kinds. Use only fresh, home grown flowers. No
dried or silk flowers allowed. A vase by definition is any vessel that can
be used to hold cut flowers and which is taller than it is wide at its
widest point.
The TOP Vase is open to anyone to enter and is not intended purely for

Judges should use their discretion when judging the Top Vase, bearing in
