She received blue ribbons on all six of her entries in the show and it was her arrangement of yellow mixed flowers, entered in Section 9 — Lemon Curd — that captured the coveted purple ribbon. The arrangement contained a gladiolus stem, rudbeckia, quilled mums, and golden rod accented with greens and ninebark.
