People looking for beauty and fragrance last weekend made a beeline to the Oak Harbor Senior Center.

The Oak Harbor Garden Club’s Rosewood Flower Show featured 158 horticulture specimens, 26 floral designs and four specials exhibits entered by numerous club members.

Several horticultural awards were presented including Carolyn Armstrong’s “Smiling Gold Tall Bearded Iris,” which won both the Award of Merit and an Award of Excellence. Her “Succulent Sedum” also won an Award of Merit. Others in this division were Carol Pembertin’s “Surengia Hyacinths Varieta” which won the Arboreal Award and Connie Leonhardi’s “Tree Peony” which also won an Award of Merit.

The Designer’s Choice Award went to Carolyn Dischoff for her mass design of colorful spring flowers called “In the Foyer.” The Table Artistry Award went to Michelle Cook for her white and green (Bells-of-Ireland) floral arrangement “Dinner at Eight.”

Netsah Zylinsky’s educational exhibit “The Kitchen Garden” won both the Educational Award and the Award of Distinction.

The judges were Delores Weightman of Vancouver, B.C., Clara Sane of Mount Vernon and Judith Juno of Oak Harbor. They are nationally accredited judges from the National Garden Clubs, Inc.

Vistors also enjoyed quilts on display by members of “Quilters On the Rock” and various demonstrations of flower designs, hanging baskets, orchids and cement leaves for garden art by Eileen Oldham, Jan Soberanas, Genevieve Davison and Elizabeth Ruff.
