Timing is crucial when cutting flowers because it affects their hydration and overall health... Flowers cut at the right time, typically early in the morning or late in the afternoon, are more hydrated and less stressed
Use sharp, clean pruners or scissors to carefully trim them to mimic the shape of a healthy, intact leaf. This not only creates precise cut but reduces unsightly discolorings and browning.
Select three or four potential flowers, leaves or branches you are planning on entering in a “cut specimens” class. Mark them, but do not cut them until the day of entry. This will give you a back-up entry should something happen to your best to your best specimen before you enter.
... things that I look for when judging... Overall quality, appearance, and health... Does the produce item or flower look appealing and high quality? Is it free of blemishes, diseases, bug holes, etc? Would I buy this at full price at... a store?
