I'm posting some photos of plants that would probably have been on the benches on Saturday here as they all refer to the Stirling/Dunblane event. It's a bit of an experiment and it throws up some practical problems not there when the plant is on a bench in front of you such as contrast in the photos - pale colours over expose in group classes-, labels not legible or even visible However as we are not judging or awarding prizes no need to worry too much.
Class 5 three from open ground (one not lifted yet nor will it be now). Saxifraga, Erica cv, N. Tete a tete
class 8 six pots bulbs different genera Corydalis Dieter Schacht, Narcissus Topolino, Tulipa violacea Black Base
Crocus balansae Zwanenburg, Cyclamen coum Silver Leaf, Ornithogalum oligophyllum
class 9 six pots bulbs distinct N Elka, C Beth Evans, N minimus
Scilla siberica, Tulipa polychroma, Puschkinia libanotica
class 12 two pans Crocus C kosanini April View & C chrysanthus Prins Claus
class 14 two pans Iris Spot On & I Frank Elder

Terrific effort, Stan and proof if any were needed of what the shows miss when you cannot attend!
I've edited your posts to fit the images beside the class descriptions to make viewing simpler

Thanks Maggi -that is a great help. Realistically some of those pots would never have made it to a real show bench but I found it a useful exercise which I intend to repeat for all the other spring shows.

Many thanks, Stan ... it also goes to show that you are slightly further on with flowering than I am here in Lancashire. Lovely pictures to brighten my recovery to full health.
