No, this isn’t Dancing with the Stars or American Idol. It’s a popularity contest just for us plant people: the American Garden Award competition!

Head over to the American Garden Award website and take a look at the beauties in this competition. Then cast your vote.

If you want to see the contestants “in the flesh,” you can visit the display garden at the Dallas Arboretum & Botanical Garden.

(For our Houston folks—who aren’t up for a road trip—we present the visual sneak peek below. A little virtual getaway for you!)

Voting closes on August 31. So, get to clicking!
