David Millward received a merit certificate for his fine Ramonda which had won the top award a week ago in Dunblane. Your correspondent retained the Walker of Portlethen trophy for most (900) points in section 1, won the Simpson salver for Rhododendron Snow and a merit certificate for a dwarf Enkianthus. This was in the class for Ericaceous plants other than Rhododendron . It seems Enkianthus has joined several other genera in being subsumed into Rhododendron but that info is not yet in the show schedules.
