I have no plans to try and breed an onrangey one

Emma - I was very tempted by the golden cow parsley but the label said it would only come true from seed if isolated and I have loads of the common cow parsley in the area I wanted to put it.  Still wish I had got one to try it though as it was very attractive.

Here are a few photos I took at the RHS yesterday

1.  Seedling on Avon stand
2.  Lovely Lunaria called Chedglow - I hope this is soon available.  This was on the Avon stand
3.  Iris histrioides 'Lady Beatrix Stanley' - I intend to try this in a partial shade woodland setting with Iris Katherine Hodgkins.
4.  Jacques Amand display of Iris which looked lovely

Few more:-

1.  Avon seedling again
2.  Broadleigh Stand
3.  Chrysosplenium macrophyllum (likes dry shade)
4.  Lunaria variegata Alba (bought a few in the hope they set seed and spread around).  They were on the Avon stand

We had to get a cab to Victoria and I had a paralysed arm!  Could not get a cuppa at the station as we could not carry it.....my friend was cursing me    Miraculously not a bloom was broken on anything.
