Loughborough AGS Show 29th September 2018

[Maggi Young]

Great success at Loughborough AGS show  for Alan Furness with this  beautiful pot of Crocus hadriaticus
 - Farrer Medal and  First Class Certificate from Joint Rock  RHS  committee

Pix from Lawrence Peet ...







edit to add note from Don Peace :
" I understand this particular clone has now been named Crocus hadriaticus 'Edward Rymer'. Alan received a few corms a good number of years ago from the late Tony Rymer and it has been decided to name the crocus for Tony's grandson."

Magic Show. Thanks to all who contributed. Now...who left behind their little blue notebook, which judging by the contents, they'd really like back.

If their other half saw the snowdrop wish list it certainly would be incriminating

I've never seen such dense population of Cyclamen maritimum, incredible.

No images from me this year. First time in over 20 years we have missed this show. Age is catching up on us.

What a nice tribute to Tony and his family.
