Thanks, Jon - I was just editing a shot of asturiensis and lost the place!

Good to see you got there, Chas - hope you had a good day out- some fine bulbs there for sure.

Yes, a great day Maggi,Jan enjoyed it also ,she was rather taken with all the crocus,I can feel more being added to the few that we have

My blessings on Mrs W - a woman of taste.....

I'm knackered and I'm off to bed. Great day, hordes of people. Thanks to all who came and to all who helped, the real stars of the show

[Maggi Young]

Sleep the sleep of the plum tuckered, Martin! Night night!

[Graeme]

Chas  -thanks for posting a picture of that crocus - that was the one plant that really took my eye

It seemed really really busy - the plants on display were as good as I had seen for some time and the sun came out - MartinR you can be proud of that show

Saw a lot of people I had not seen for a while - bought a couple of bags of plants - saw some superb display plants

A well deserved rest. Thanks and congratulations to the 'Loughborough Team' - a lovely day out with lots of excellent retail opportunities, amazing show and welcome refreshments. Many thanks and well done.

So, finally managed to go through the pictures. Here they are as a slide show. I think there are tow unnamed ones. the Galanthus and a Crocus.

Thanks Eric, it was so hectic I never did get a chance to look at the plants

[Palustris]

First time we have been turned away at the gate  Good job there was an overflow car park!
Sadly I did not take photos of all the plants. Too many to do that and too many people standing and talking in front of some of them. Why do they stand and chat with their backs to the plants, right in everyone else's way?

[Luc Gilgemyn]

Thanks for showing the pix, Eric !
Looks like the benches were far better stocked than in Harlow the week before...

First time we have been turned away at the gate

Ah yes!!!!!That would have been me. Clearly the parents of the young footballers were illiterate and unable to read signs that said "Football, Gate 1". At least it wasn't raining while I got abuse for trying to keep the traffic flowing

[Jon Evans]

Hi Everyone
Just to let you know that I have added my photos of the plants at the show to the thread on the AGS website -

What a photo, what a plant !   Well grown plant raised by great growers - very nice indeed.

Another great set of photos, Jon. Such an array of well-grown plants. I must make an effort to a show(s) down south next year.
