Peter
Thanks for the clarification on Air Waves.  I just didn't get the name.  You'd chuckle but I just couldn't see over the top of the pot to see behind the Trillium which is part of the reason for my mistake but also someone was talking to me so I wasn't concentrating.  Not your fault at all it was a super day and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Well done!

Just looking through the photographs and realised that the white Primula in Christine's photo (reply 9) was in fact Primula 'Aire Waves' shown by Peter Hood for which he received a certificate of merit. He told me later it had looked far better last week at East Lancs and by the end of the afternoon was looking a little 'tired' - as were we all!

That corner of the benches was a little congested and I can see how the confusion over whose plant each was could arise - will try to do better next year.  ::)

Actually, it's Aire Mist!

Seems I am very late in posting, clocks change, more time outside, less time on the net. Much repetition I am sure
Class 1, six pan from Stan de Prato which included
Rhododendron 'Pintail' and
Andromeda polifolia 'Nikko'...I think someone needs to tell Stan that he could improve in the label department, does take a little effort but makes the presentation so much better
Primula 'Aire Mist' Pater Hood (3)
Primula irregularis hybrid, Ian Kidman (4)

Class 2 was a three pan class dominated by Cyril Lafong that also included the Forrest Winning
Trillium rivale 'Purple Heart' plus the following that could just as easily have taken the award
Pulsatilla vernalis
Dionysia aretiodes 'Compact Form'
Hepatica 'Millstream Merlin from David Boyd (15), one of many on the benches
Saxifraga 'Coolock Gem' from Ian Kidman (16), must have been keeping in back somewhere

You could be forgiven if you thought that it needed to be white to win in class 5, 1 pan Primulaceae excluding Androsace and Dionysia but Sam Sutherland proved them all wrong with
Primula Mary Berry
Don Peace, who had the most points in the Open Section had kept his
Primula Netta Dennis in good condition from the previous week
Corydalis solida from local stalwart Tom Green (14)
Corydalis solida 'White Knight' Don Peace (51)

Jean Wyllie as is her norm, made the long trip down to Hexham and won  with
Shortia uniflora in 26
Cassiope lycopodiodes 'Jim Lever' in 92 from Tim Lever
Arcterica nana from Alan Furness (32)
Synthyris pinnatifida lanuginose in  37 from Carole and Ian Bainbridge, used to grow this plant, always liked it but found it difficult to say the least
Erythronium multiscapoideum from Della Kerr (44), better than last week, might do another one yet
