Any idea of the results of the auction anyone?
Hi Brian

Sorry I missed you - certainly enjoyed meeting Mark, Luc and the lurker from Belgium.

The bulb of 'floccon de neige' went for £55 - even more reason for leaving early.

I bought the enormous pot of Gladiolus flanganii grown from AGS seed for £34.

We had a grand day attending the bulb sale !   :D
The "harvest" was excellent and meeting some Forum friends was even better !!

We enjoyed it thoroughly !  I'm sure Mark will post some pictures of the "happening"  ;D

David, you are quite right, the journal does state that the SRGC kit can be seen on the website... and as soon as we get the pix and details... it will be!  In the meantime, I hope you are all saving your pennies ( what a daft thing to say in a thread about a bulb sale!!)  for the glorious day when the pix appear for  your SRGC spending spree!!

I kept well away from it only to hear after it was over there was a G. krasnovii auctioned. It sold for £27. I would have raised it to £30

I thought everybody was kidding when they mentioned these daft prices. Just shows how little you know when you are a hermit stuck in the North. I was given 3 bulbs of G. krasnowii  last week. I gave a ramonda seedling in exchange,c'est la vie!

Goodness me, Art, we can hardly see you behind that huge pot of Gladiolus !
So, in the first photo, is the chap to the left our lurking friend, Luc the second?
I  know second left is Mark, then Luc the Channel Hopper  with  artful Arthur on the extreme right......... :-\



Eh?? ........Where did the first photo go?  ???
