Another brilliant and comprehensive report bringing the show to those of us who could not make the journey to Edinburgh this year.

Thank you Stan our star  Reporter from the Scottish shows for this forum.

I only provide a quick overview - there is still scope for more knowledgeable people to add more detail about particular plants.

And that would be most welcome, Stan- hope someone is listening!

Your photos let all of us who cannot attend the show get an exciting picture of the event. For those who know the time and trouble it takes to do all that, it is even more appreciated.

Really great show again. Had a lovely day out and the sun was shinning. Some fantastic plants so well done to everyone that had plants on the bench. When I got home I looked in my greenhouse and felt really disgusted with myself. Had one really nice Hepatica full of lovely flowers which I will be honest I bought at the show.

Well done to everyone that made it a great show, well worth the effort that you all put in.

Stan I notice there is a picture of me with only one cake on my plate and it was a lot smaller than the one that you had on your plate  ;D ;).

that is why it is in the caption section - your speech bubble reveals you complaining   to John Mitchell  that you only have one  small cake on your plate  while he  points out  you have already  eaten the other  two.

Yes Maggi, caught out again  but if he had been there 30 minutes earlier with his camera he would have caught me with, well lets say more than one cake on my plate  ;D  This is another reason why these shows are so great.

You'd a lot of driving to do to visit the show Angie - bound to make you hungry!

Besides,  folk had gone to a lot of bother to prepare all that lovely food - it would be rude not to tuck in   ;)
