Twice each year, the Ohio Association of Garden Clubs holds the 2-day educational opportunity Exhibitors’ and Judges’ School. As the name suggests, the schools are packed with knowledgable speakers on a myriad of subjects – all in the interest in becoming a better grower, floral designer and flower show exhibitor. In addition, the school is the training arena for those wishing to be an OAGC accredited flower show judge. OAGC flower show judges must maintain certain amount of attendance of these schools in order to maintain their active judge status.
The full series runs 6 schools over a span of 3 years. Student judges must pass tests and undergo a student judge period before becoming accredited.

Hi what flowers were used for An Occidental (Chaplets, wreaths, garlands and flower collars) Design by Myrna Cordray. An example of the Egyptian Period ( 2800-28 BC) arrangement?
The flowers appear to be Alstromerias and wheat though I think I also see some red spray roses between the wheat and the Alstromeria.
