I had a quick look around the AGS show at Caerleon.

Hopefully Cliff will give a full report as I didn't note the winners, but just took plenty of photos

I started at the top of the page and noted how well appart the pots were spaced and thought, thin show, not many entries!
Then I scrolled down and looked at your individual pictures. WOW, what great plants Frits going well already and you seem to indicate Dionysia nearly over. We live in a different world.
Well done everyone in Caerleon.

Great posting, Rob,

Loved, particularly, N. 'Gypsy Queen', a beautiful understated colouration.

Seems Spring is much further on at Caerleon than in Scotland. What a lovely flavour of the super plants on show, Rob. thank you very much!

Great photographs of a great Show. 

I wonder is it really a Notoschordum?  Was it once an Iphieon?

[ranunculus]

Caerleon is just too far for me to travel Rob....many thanks for your excellent shots of some VERY early plants. I've only got Callianthemums in flower at the moment here in East Lancashire.

[Anthony Darby]

Rob, the Anacamptis is papilionacea which I also had in flower at Dunblane (though I have i labelled as Orchis papilionacea).

[Rob]

Anthony

Have you put the names in the posts so they show on the search engine?

I forgot all about that, sorry.
