Partner loaded mainly foliage /autumn but a few gentians somewhere in the middle. Even putting a couple of pots in the passenger space couldn't get everything in. Growing outside means too many plants.

This Eastern Australian orchid, Pterostylis coccina, has won the Forrest Medal for the best plant in show at Hexham today, grown/shown by Bob and Rannveig Wallis. SRGC rules applied this year at this joint Show.

Congrats to Bob and Rannveig!

Another view of Bob & Rannveig's well deserved Forrest plant. The Millenium trophy for best foliage plant was Cyclamen mirabile from Don Peace. The best cyclamen in a small pot taking the Ewesley salver was shown by Derek Pickard. The Patricia Furness vase for the best small pot other than cyclamen went to David Millward for Crocus xantholimos. John Richards took the LW Browne trophy for best gentian with The Caley.

The David Boyd award for class 74 an African plant went to Ian Instone. Two merit certs went to a pair of Raoulias shown by Alan Furness . Vivien Self won the Inner Eye for most firsts in section 2(intermediate) while Michael Wilson took the Newcastle trophy for best plant in section 2. Finally I received the Ponteland bowl for most firsts by bringing most plants many of them foliage but with a few gentians and saxes
