Spring Shows in Prague 2010

To follow this post, there will be some more photos, from the Early Spring Show in Prague, March 2010, following on from the earlier thread "Early Spring Exhibition in Prague and a visit in Karel Lang's garden", begun by Hans Hoeller.......
http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=5245.0
This early Spring show lasts only a few days but at the moment the Czechs are very busy preparing the Rock Garden Show, Rock Gardener's Club Prague which is the main Club exhibit and lasts for three weeks.
It is extraordinary to think that this exhibit of more than 1000 plants is all laid out, as if in a rock garden, in the open and all the plants are from RGCP members. It is a marvelous feat, much admired by all who have seen it.
These photos from ZZ of the March show will give you a taster of the quality to be expected........

I have the latest news from Praque, where the Show has now opened.... ZZ, who has been busily occupied in the set up of the show tells me: " the show dweller is back from the opening (when he played opening short song on his"horn" C trumpet) of the Main (May Show). The best, as usually, is the woodland part, arranged by Jiří Strohalm and a team of ladies."
I am sure among the many musicians in other Rock Garden Clubs we could find the equivalent of ZZ to play,even if not on the trumpet, then some other fanfare to mark the opening of our events.... sounds like great fun to me!
Here are a couple of photos, taken on a rather dull day, to show some more sights of the show.....
Now, I ask you... does that really look as though it was just assembled in the last week or does it look like it has been growing as ans entity for years? I venture to suggest the latter.... very impressive planting!
(click the pix to enlarge them, of course)

And I love the stone mulch. At least in the states, it is often done poorly, with material that is very uniform in size (mostly, in defense, because that's what's easily available.

And that little pool is a real gem with stones right to the bottom. No plastic or butynol there. Not showing anyway.

Here is a fountain that we admired in Prague. Maybe that will fit the bill Maggi. Maybe I might just get back again - next time in April.
