Diane, we were only passing the time until you'd finished your chips  
What cracking plants!
Mr and Mrs Wright are justifiably happy.
Great three pan from Mr Lee.... I don't suppose he'd like to find out how well that Trillium would "do" in Aberdeen?
Don't believe the pan of Crassula socialis... it is plainly made from papier mache and old Fairy liquid bottles.

[Maggi Young]

What a super portrait of John Dower and his garden! Love it: that should be a christmas card chez Dower...be sure to negotiate a good price!

BD says he thinks that Farrer Erythronium is likely a hybrid... though none the less lovely for that.

Diane, we were only passing the time until you'd finished your chips  

just for the record, I didn't finish the chips (had to leave room for cake  )

Great three pan from Mr Lee.... I don't suppose he's like to find out how well that Trillium would "do" in Aberdeen?    

We're trying hard to convert him from a lurker, so if we ever do, you can ask him   

Don't believe the pan of Crassula socialis... it is plainly made from papier mache and old Fairy liquid bottles.

[Ian Y]

Great pictures from a great event congratulations to every one.

It is wonderful to see an Erythronium scoop the top award but from what I can see of the fillaments in the pictures I do not think it is pure E oregonum but a hybrid and it looks remarkably like the excellent late John Walker's E. 'Mini Ha Ha' - deserved winner what ever.

Good also to see so many friendly and familiar faces enjoying them selves in various ways.

[Les Brown]

Hallo all, Just joined. Ian i'll put a closer photo up of the E oregonum? as soon as I figure out how.
Cheers
Les
