In spite of a fall, a visit to the hospital Accident and Emergency dept. and a problem with the window of the RBGE van, Elspeth Mackintosh tells me that RBG Edinburgh are planning to take a display of bulbs and alpines to the SRGC Show in Milngavie on Saturday 4th May. Made of stern stuff these gardeners!

Too true. I banjoed myself taken the wheelie bin round the front. Off to the A&E on Thursday evening, given two co-codomol tablets and told to wait One and a half hours later I gave up and went home. Next day I went back up for X-rays -bruised rib cage, grazed and bruised knee and my thumb in a splint. Seemingly the last evening had been bedlam according to the Doctor - people deciding to crash their cars everywhere. She said that if I hadn't had a good layer of fat around my middle, I would have broken my ribs. So, stuff the diet and bring on the meringues.
Gardening continues apace but bending is not an option!

One of the plants that Ali and Sarah at Ardfearn had for sale was this lovely gentian ....
-wouldn't that make a lovely emblem for an alpine plant society?!!

Superb display from Alex O'Sullivan at today's @SRGC Show at Milngavie - Alex works for RBGE and is also an AGS member. He has visited South America, too.
Alex wrote : "Very proud to have received a gold award for my exhibition of South American Alpines @ScottishRockGC Glasgow show today."
Alex also entered some plants in the show
- " Two first with: Nassauvia lagascae ssp lagascae, Dionysia sarvestanica ssp spathulata @ScottishRockGC Glasgow show today. A really excellent show as well! Well done to Richard and his team."
Nassauvia lagascae ssp lagascae
Dionysia sarvestanica ssp spathulata

David Millward took the Forrest medal with Saxifraga pubescens Snowcap which was part of his class 2 winning three pan that took the Henry Archibald rosebowl. Local group member John di Paolo took the jubilee prize for best plant in a small pot with another Snowcap. David & Stella Rankin won both the Buchanan rose bowl for class 1 six pans and the Buchanan challenge cup for class 3 three new or rare plants

Glasgow always attracts several friends from the north of England. George Young had the best orchid while Ian Kidman won the Joan Stead prize for best primula and Lionel Clarkson received a merit cert for his gesneriad Jancaemonda vandedemii. Back in Scotland Watt Russell again won the Ian Donald cup for best Scottish plant with Paris quadrifolia.

Missed at Perth due to George's accident the Drongan duo brought a car full of fine plants. Sue won the Diamond Jubilee small six pan against very stiff competition, had another merit certificate for Anisotome imbricata as well as one for a very good Benthamiella patagonica. Edinburgh group treasurer Peter Moore was the most successful exhibitor in section 2.
edit by M : Peter Moore also won the trophy for most points in Section 2 (Peter's photo)

Your reporter retained the Crawford cup for most first points in the open section, the Don Stead bulb prize despite the tulips going over in the car and the Edward Darling trophy for class 4 three dwarf rhodos.
Graeme & Hilary from Rumbling Bridge received a gold medal for their very attractive auricula theatre.
