Final two pictures come from class 3, 3 pans distinct genera, new rare or difficult where the Rankins had
Primula sharmae and
Androsace laxa both of which I liked, I did not take any pictures of the winning three from George Young but Stan shows them off in his picture of the 3 pan rhododendron
I am sure the organisers were delighted by the number and quality of the plants on display, even if John and Bill were having to make last minute alterations on the hoof, extra tables, extra judges etc. The large number of entries from South of the Border made up for quite a number of Scottish exhibitors who were away in Prague, from a personal point of view trying to adjust from an AGS schedule to the SRGC schedule took a bit of getting used to but I worked it out in the end and on the show morning during staging, as it happens I could not have got any more plants in the car, even had one on the passenger seat strapped in with the seat belt!
