The Spring Exhibition in Praha

[Ewelina Wajgert]

What is the weather like in Prague? Is it so hot and dry as in other Europe?

It is enough dry in Prague, as by us. It was warm, but not too hot yet.

I fall behind with watering.

Ewelina,

Of course you had more photographs!  I should have known there was no need to ask such a silly question. Great show, great plants and great photgraphs.

Many thanks. Paddy

Wonderful images Ewelina...many, many thanks. Please pass on our best wishes to Diane Clement and tell her she was missed 'just a little' at East Cheshire Show today!!! 

[Ewelina Wajgert]

Ewelina,

Of course you had more photographs! 

Many thanks. Paddy

I have still more, but I must dose you pleasures

[David Nicholson]

David, all plant, that you see on my photos are only exhibited. They aren't for sale. Besides it is small and tight area full plants for sale. It was a lot of beautiful and rare plants. I have bought a lot - almost 3 boxes.
In Prague the sale looks another as by us. All the plants (from all the sellers) are delivered to show. All are labelled with seller number. The plants sell appointed society's members - 3 cashier and 1 adviser. If you want to meet grower, it isn't possible beyond these, that work on the show. It is obvious, that the adviser can't know all the plants. The money hit to common money-box and are separated after the show.
I have learned too, that all the sellers must pay fee from their profit.

On the show a lot of plants are rewarded. You can meet the labels with text "Oceneny exponat".

Ewelina,  thank you for taking the time to explain that to me.

Ahoy!! miss you all muy mucho.

Brillant lectures a few way too long with 150 slides to show. Digital reigns supreme. Finn from Tromso gave two brillant lectures on the garden and mountain alpines. Vojtech showed us the Caucasus mountains. Vlastimil showed us some great small Daphnes. Janis showed bulbs from Central Asia. Fritz Kummert showed us his garden. Plant sale today was brilliant. So many plants too little room in bagage. In three hours we start the garden tours heading to Grulichs garden in the mountain. I may be able to upload photos later or tomorrow. The tower is locked away

You're so right Ewelina, you don't want us to get a photographic indigestion now, do you  

Thanks again for sharing all this and making us feel we should have been there...  

[David Shaw]

Are the plants stiil in their pots or have they been planted out?

[johanneshoeller]

David, the plants are still in their pots.

Mark, I wait impatient your photos, especially from Grulich's Garden and another garden. This year I have visited the Botanical Garden in Praha Troja. Some Photos from the BoGa.

[Maggi Young]

We may all be unhappy about the lack of rain for OUR gardens but we can see from Ewelina's photos that at least it is good weather for VISITING gardens!

[Ewelina Wajgert]

Maggi, the weather was in fact fantastic for visiting exhibition. I don't imagine packing of plants in rain.

At us we had today rainy day and the plants came back to life.

[Maggi Young]

we still have no rain here.... we are waiting !

[Paddy Tobin]
