EAST LANCS AGS Show 21 March 2009

Fantastic pics and plants Cliff, the Pulsatilla Vernalis was my favourite ( by half a nose) until I saw  Viola spathulata.
If I ever got to go to one of these shows I think I'd be looking for my eyeballs on the floor!!
Hmmm but my jaw would prolly get in the way.
Congratulations to all involved.

Cliff,

Many thanks for posting all those photos from East Lancs - it makes me look forward to Hexham next week with a keen sense of anticipation. First entries are already in.

I must admit that the story of the tables fulfils my worst nightmare scenario (don't worry folks, I've double-checked and the tables will be there) as it's the one thing that's outside one's control as show secretary. I always now phone up to double check the details after doing it by chance a couple of years ago to find that, yes the tables were booked out as requested, but that they were about to be delivered to my house.    The front lawn is just not that big!

Thanks Peter,
All those exhibits on your front lawn would have been bad enough, but what about the catering and the demands on your loo?

Swoon!!!!

Thanks for the full label Cliff. One needs to assume all is not as it seems when looking at a seedlist. As a synonym of bithynica, I would have passed over that seed and missed out on something very special. Well I did anyway of course as I didn't join the Frit Group until this century.
