A gardener from Stony Hill Farms described an arrangement created to celebrate the anniversary of the Wappinger Dahlia Show, saying the design was inspired by the show's 120th and later anniversary celebrations. "I thought, why not celebrate with some candles and a cake, made of beautiful flowers?" the gardener said, explaining the birthday-cake concept and how it accommodates short-stem blooms.
The gardener said they grow "lots of dahlias and lots of other plants" at Stony Hill and that the site includes approximately 800 square feet of cultivation space. The exhibitor noted multiple entries in the show and said arranging with short stems influenced the display choices featured at the event.
