FLOAT SECTION Judging Criteria- White Tag Open to all. This section is to utilize high quality
blooms that could not otherwise be shown. Blooms are to be staged so that they will float in a suitable container
to fit the size of the bloom so that the petals are not overlapping the container. The bloom must float in the
container and no accessories are to be used in the float such as glass rings. Entry will be judged on quality of
bloom and how well the bloom fits in proportion to the container.
