[veteran vet]

Two from class 56, viola species
Viola yakushimanum from Tom Green

Viola lutea from Brian Burrow

Tom Green is a bloke you should never accept a lift from, he got lost driving into Glasgow as the Sat Nav stopped but he did eventually arrive, then got lost driving home, ending up coming home via Edinburgh instead of via Carlisle, but he still might have been home in time for the Liverpool Newcastle match on the TV
Iberis taurica from Jim Watson (60), he was car sharing with Tom

Campanula bellidifolia from Ian Kidman (60)

[veteran vet]

It was worth going to the show just to see his display of South American alpines, such diversity was on show
Epimedium grandiflorum alba from Sheila Macnulty (68), I grow this under 'nanum' rather than 'alba' is one of my favourite plants
