Suggestion
Soak garden ground well the day before cutting. Cut flowers after sunset or before sunrise. Cut on a long angle with a razor blade or a very sharp knife. Submit entries in a single creative container, as required. Remove any ragged or bug-nibbled petals. Pay attention to the underside of flowers and foliage. De-bud, if only one blossom is the requirement for a category.
