Delosperma sphalmanthoides from Raymond Hurd (103)

Saxifraga 'Sybil Trelawny' from David and Liz Livermore (111)

Eriogonum strictum v greenei from Christine Boulby (121), already had a good post about the show, well done lass

For those of you who have not been to this show I also show some shots of the plant sales area

As you can see, plenty of room for the sales tables (still another corridor you have not seen) plus, to get to the show you go through a good sized restaurant which served snacks and full sized meals all day, they were jolly busy.
so that's it for another show, the new lighting and the white table sheets worked well, the public turned out pretty well...saw quite a lot of young folk which is good, and at the end of the day we were all cleaned up and tables stacked by 4-30, excellent

After failing   to get to the show it's really good to see  Christine and George's pics.
