Thanks for posting such excellent photos of a Show that many of us cannot hope to visit.  I look forward to more in the morning.
I think the same as Arthur

I like all the plants but the Roscoea humeana alba must be my favourite.  Do you recall the grower Cliff

[ranunculus]

I may be totally wrong Arthur, but I think it may have been George Young...a beautiful exhibit.

[ranunculus]

Diane, Martin, Shelagh, John, etc. etc. .... where are your photos....please?

[veteran vet]

First try at posting a few pictures
Alstroemeria pelegrina
Celmisia bellidiodes
Edraianthus owerianus
Cypripedium calceolus

[ranunculus]

Your pictures have been dropped for some reason sir...would you please be so kind as to try again.  If you 'press additional options' and 'browse', then, when you have located your image, press 'open' and your image should be accepted. For subsequent images press 'more attachments' and continue as before.
I look forward to seeing your images.

As ever, Cliff, a fabulous report from you. Great plants indeed but also very well photographed.

You boys, and girls, do like your chips!

I was very tempted to add: "You boys, and girls, do like your chips!"... and it sho....  No, I won't say that.
