This was my original channel on youtube as you can see on the image over 7,000 movies and 16,000 subscribers. No record of what movies were published. No record of anything, until I found the Internet Archive and I managed to get the image above. So that image is the only proof the channel existed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was the Flower Show Guy, the only person in the world to travel to<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chelsea<\/a> the 2025 Show has just finished loads of movies on Youtube<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philadelphia<\/a> This is an amazing show. Thanks for the memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Singapore<\/a> Truely international show. Some of the best in the world side by side<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Melbourne<\/a> Usually 1 or 2 international garden contestants THE BEST FLORAL ART In THE WOLRD ( in my opinion )And the only Flower Show in the Southern Hemisphere <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bloom<\/a> Irelands answer to Chelsea. Pretty cool stuff<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keukenhof<\/a> The best tulip gardens in the world. And an amazing place to visit all year round. When the flower show is on check out the lilies orchids etc<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Churmont<\/a> Another true intenational show. Open April to Nov and just amazing grounds and Castle to see. Thanks for the memories<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ellerslie<\/a> Saddly no longer running. I didnt get to see the original show at the race course but I have hours of video at the Botanic gardens and Chch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Auckland Flower Show.<\/a> When the Rotary supported Ellerslie flower show moved to Chch the Lions Clubs in Auckland set this show up. It was world class with great gardens and floral art. But the public didnt go. So that was that. It was a oncer. So sad really sad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the NZ Flower And Garden Show<\/a>, New Zealands Final Flower show. It was International with Leon from South Africa winning. It was on for 2 years<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus loads of NZ Flower Shows.More info images and links soon<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At these shows, I recorded every floral display and walked over each landscape garden. I hope I can get the movies back up somewhere before I fall over. At MIFGS The Melbourne Flower and Garden Show the floral art judge would step aside and let me video the displays. I have a movie of him creating a display for the public at one of the later shows. Some of the early years going to MIFGS I was broke and it was the media room hosts that kept me going. I would leave NZ on Tuesday Video the show Wed and travel back to NZ Thursday doing the Feilding Farmers Market on Friday. One of the local florists bought extra stock and was going to do the market but I appeared and put an end to that idea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
