LightNaples Flower Show March 30 & 31, 2012

This is Naples Garden Club’s 59th annual flower show and the 8th time it hasbeen cosponsored by Naples Botanical Garden. The Garden’s recent expan-sion has put Naples ‘on the map’ in the world of Botanical Gardens. Thegrounds are open to all who visit our show and we hope that guests will takeadvantage of all the beauty and wonderful displays that are available. At 10a.m., 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. each day speakers will present lectures and demon-strations. Come and rest a while in the shade with us. Cold water will be available.

This is my third and last year of chairing the Naples Flower Show. One of theprivileges of the Chairman is to choose the theme of the show which is LIGHTthis year. A definition of light is: the portion of electromagnetic radiation that isvisible to the human eye, responsible for the sense of sight. Artist StephenKnapp has generously allowed us to use one of his paintings, “New YorkSuite,” as our logo. And we are privileged to showcase another of his amazinglight paintings in the entrance to our design exhibit.

We will bring you a variety of designs revolving around the theme. Light shines,reflects, glows, glistens, radiates, sparkles, reveals, illuminates, bounces, and fo-cuses. Light is needed for photosynthesis and for vision. There are spot lights, neonlights, lava lights, twinkle lights, stage lights, flash lights and lamp lights. Fire light,day light, twilight, sunlight, moonlight and candle light all set different moods.

Many songs have been written about light and you will view our floral design-ers’ interpretations of some ‘oldies.’ One of the sections in the Design Divisionwill interpret Steven Knapp’s light paintings. Look for these designs and see ifyou think the designers have captured his vision.

The Horticulture Division will remind you of the importance of sunlight to ourplants. Plants use the energy from sunlight to produce sugars which are the"fuel" used by all living things; this process is photosynthesis. We have plantsthat grow in full sunlight and those that require shade. Some plants have lightleaves and some have dark leaves. Some have leaves that are different colorson top and bottom. Could that have evolved because of the light conditions?

What fun we have had writing the schedule and interpreting the theme for yourpleasure! It is our hope that you enjoy every moment of your time with us. Ourhostesses are wearing green aprons and ‘Ask Me’ pins. They and the ParasolLadies are here to guide you and answer your questions.

A new feature this year is the Popular Vote. Please fill out your vote and give itto any hostess. Vote for the design and horticulture entry that YOU liked best.(It need not be one that the judges selected.) We will tabulate the votes at theend of the show and the two winners will be on announced on our web-site.(naplesgardenclub.org). Kathleen Hawryluk, Chair-
