A swift return from a very breezy day at the excellent Southport AGS Show. Congratulations to Show Secretary; Roger Beecham and his always wonderfully efficient team on another superbly run event.
The Farrer Medal at Southport was scooped by a huge potful of the stunningly beautiful, Fritillaria camschatcensis exhibited by Clare Oates.
The lunchtime shenanigans of the 2015 Pudsey Pig contest attracted nearly twenty five ravenous competitors and chief piglet (winning with his first attempt at the trough) was Bob Worsley, a walking waste disposal unit from Woodford in Cheshire. Congratulations and happy stomach pumping, Bob … did you buy any Rennies?

Bob unwrapping the Pudsey Pig prizes … note the exertion and tension on this poor chap's face … after the ultimate effort.
Apologies for the dreadful quality of the images … the flash on my camera is reaching the end of its shelf life and this beautiful plant is quite difficult to capture in situ' on the show bench.
