Super to see all your photographs, Anthony, Graeme and Maggi. I see some of my plants there and even one of myself.  When I unpacked my crocuses this morning I discovered I had accidentally picked up the wrong pot of Crocus imperati.  The one I picked up is a green 5''square pot (BEF make).  The label is green and says CROCUS IMPERATI then 'Fred 80' and 'DE JAGER'.  My crocuses were in a black pot about the same size with a printed label saying Crocus imperati.  If anyone recognises this as their pot of crocuses or anyone knows whose they are please get in touch and we can arrange to swop back if you are at the Stirling or Perth show.  Sorry for the mistake.

Great report Maggi.

Loved all the photos and I think it's a great idea for someone to concentrate on the people for a change. I might even get to put faces to names I know.

Well done, enjoyed it very much, Paddy

Thank you all for posting some great pics from a great day. Looking at the pictures is much more relaxing than looking at the real thing in the crush of the hall. I must admit to a certain sympathy with Tom over the popularity of the event and the size of the hall. We'll be back next year but I could wish for a more relaxed atmosphere.
Carol and I have just arrived home after a long weekend break. We spent Sunday on our own snowdrop walk in Hermitage Wood up above Stirling Uni. Masses of snowdrops everywhere - and they all had little green bits!

Does anyone know who owns Crocus tommie 'Lyns Pink'? I would like to add it to my collection. This will give me a full collection except for 'Claret'

I know who had that tommie, Mark, but it's not being split at the moment, for good reason  :-X

Well I hope they do split it and share it for this reason.  Last year I showed a tight clump of 'Claret' on the forum and after asking for some I was told no. I looked for it in the same garden this year and was very disappointed. There was only one bulb left :o Mice or squirrels must have eaten them.

I'm willing to share my cultivars with the owner.
