Berlingo now loaded -some would say overloaded. Hope plants survive the journey.

Wow.... there's an entry to gladden any Show Secretary's heart! Hope there is still room for you!
Good luck Stan - be safe and have a lovely day.

Glad to say Stan did manage to squeeze in the car with all his fabulous plants…. and it was a treat to see them on the bench.

His display of blue and yellow plants was well received and much commented on. 🥰

Thanks Susan. The blue & yellow were some bedding plants which one would not normally take to an alpine show but I though a small gesture might be appropriate. I'll post some pics of the many fine alpines at this very well organsed show once I've sorted them out.

Once again Frank & Barbara Hoyle tabled a magnificent large 6 pan in class 1 which won the Sewell medal and included the Farrer winning Sax Coolock Gem - a most appropriate name -and a merit certificate winning Dionysia aretioides. They also received another merit certificate for a saxifrage in another class.

Don Peace retained the Hollett trophy for most 1st points in the open section. He also took the AGS medal for the small 6 pan class and the Clarkson trophy for the best ranunc with Callianthemum anemonioides.

Chris Lilley won the Kirby cup for best foliage with Saxifraga Cecil Davis.However my notes seem to be inadequate here as I also photographed Alan Oatway's Meconopsis with a Kirby cup card beside it . Anne Wright won the Duncan Lowe award for best plant in a 19 cm pot with Narcissus Giselle, one of several elegant little narcissi she exhibted. Pat Murphy took the Michael Roberts trophy for section B and the David Mowle award for best bulb in a 19cm pot in sections 2/3 wth N Medway Gold.

North west members staged a very informative display on growing alpines in containers which the judges unanimously recognised with a large gold medal. It was too large to get in one photo.
