Yeah Steve but who walked past the SRG Crew without spotting us?

I was amazed at how many good snowdrops that were left on the sales tables

There was a lovely pot of Narcissus, Feb flowering, 'Miss Muffet' not bought at the Gala.

and in huge writing DID YOU SEE ANGELINA!!!! I want her bad. Those in first got the chanch to buy her. A very tall, flushed green whited tipped snowdrop out of Czech Republic. I know the sellers are watching - yes please and a fair swap for what you want from me!

Ok spot the forumists, these scenes of midwinter madness were taken by David at the Gala sales, sometimes it's useful to have a partner who isn't into snowdrops ;)

My wife thinks that's my head visible right at the back of the hall in the second picture.

I thought that was someone in a chef's hat.   ;D


 ;D ;D ;D ;D

Okay, okay, it's not that funny!  I'm going along to the barber tomorrow with a copy of KentGardeners picture from the forum to illustrate the new hairstyle I want.

Mark I grow Narcissus 'Miss Muffet' - she seems to be a good doer in the garden but I must have missed Angelina (Jolie) - didn't know she was interested in snowdrops!

Alan, a haircut like KentGardener's in this weather is NOT a great idea, honest, you'll freeze... he's used to it!

Here are the folks I think I spot from the Gala pix..... bear in mind I only know Mark  ::)......
Alan ? David Q?  Brian ? Mark  Martin?
and the last one is not a Forumist, but I thibnk it's SRGC member Lionel Barnwell.... which means that the tiny Diane Barnwell is somewhere in that seething mass of shoppers!!

it took me 20 mins to get one purchase into a plastic bag! 
Sue that was a very big snowdrop (or I suppose a very small bag).

Yes Mark, I did say that I saw you across the salesroom, but it was impossible to move around ... and I was looking for snowdrops ;)  Do you mean that was Janet in picture 4 with the black tie round her blonde hair?  It's difficult to know what someone looks like if you have not met them!  Mind you having said that Pattie Peck spotted me, and I her.

Are you going to the RHS halls tomorrow Alan?  If you cut your hair off I won't be able to spot you.  :-\

I still do Maggi - I got caught out in a hail storm a couple of weeks ago - bloody painful as they hit my bald bonce and made my brain hurt through freezing!   :(


Is anyone else going to the RHS halls tomorrow? (Tuesday 17 Feb) - I should be there from midday so please feel free to say hi.  ;D

Cheers

John
