Cymbidium goeringii - such a strange and interesting flower, the photo just doesn't do it justice.  I wonder if our official photographer will do better?
Dionysia Harlekin - this particular dionysia makes me want to try growing them again.  Last one I bought was dead within a week of purchase....
Glanthus virescens - shown by Ian Christie.  Wonderful specimen....
Hepatica nobilis - just one of many shown by David Boyd at this show.  His interest in cyclamen may have faded, but its been overtaken by his interest in hepaticas....
John's amazing mini garden.  I just love to look at this every year....

Kelseya uniflora - won the Bainbridges a 1st....
Narcissus Betty May - Jean didn't win with this pot, but I don't know why.  It was chock full of these delightful flowers
Narcissus obesseus - One of Anne Wright's this time, and a lovely pot full too...
Pulsatilla vernalis - sorry i didn't get the name of the exhibitor for either one of these two specimens.  One in section 2 the other in the open section.  Both looked stunning...

Pulsatilla patens var nuttalliana shown by Lionel Clarkson - was looking super - I'm a real sucker for Ranunculaceae folks
Saxifraga dinnikii - A little beauty shown by the Smethursts...
Saxifraga Leonardo da Vinci - sorry didn't get exhibitor - I'm with you George, this plant is lovely.... must get it....
Shortia - this one shown by the Bainbridges for colour foliage and was a huge pot full, deserved and obtained a 1st
Shortia - this one shown by Jean Wylie and also won a first
