I can see that the benches are perhaps not exactly filled to capacity but there are still great plants on show - with the daft season it's amazing, really. Super how the exhibitors 'pull their rabbits out of the hat' regardless.
As someone who seldom manages to attend the shows myself these days I am very grateful to Stan and the others who share their photos with us - it is a tad frustrating in some ways to let us see what we've missed but for the most part it is just a delight to get this chance to wander round the show and marvel at the range of plants and the skill with which they are grown.
If I feel this way in NE Scotland I can only imagine the pleasure these show reports give to readers from further afield!
