Mother Nature unleashed rain on the few festival goers at around 2:30 p.m.
By then, many of the 45 plant and garden vendors had sold most of their plants.
While the festival opened at 8:30 a.m., plant lovers were lined up by 7:30 a.m., hoping to be the first to land a beautiful plant or daylily before anyone else.
