David beat me to it with pictures of the Show and the Farrer Medal winning Cyclamen - exhibited by Mike and Chrisitine Brown.

I rather liked this Biarum

Thanks for sharing your photos with us, Chaps!

Why is it that that cute pot of Biarum is making me think of a Pet Shop?  ::) :D

Oooooh, a gorgeous A. davisii. I grow the black-spathed one in a raised bed but this white one is spectacular. Fabulous cyclamen too - I can never grow them in pots but they do well in the open garden.

Many thanks, David.

No pictures from me I'm afraid.... my camera batteries gave up on me..  :'(

We had a great show and a great day though !!
Wonderful plants to see and ... to buy !  :D

Lovely to see a number of fellow forumists once again !
Thanks to David H. we were also able to get our regular "fix" of J.I. compost !

So all in all a very succesful and pleasant day !  :D

The bad news is... there's five months to go before the next hop..  :'(

Luc..... I hope you might be thinking of hopping to the Discussion Weekend next year with Rita ? 8)

Irritating problem with the camera batteries .....Ian has a similar problem with his phone battery which is reluctant to take and hold a charge. :-\

You know this is one of my main objectives in life Maggi !  ;)
I somehow must try and fit it into the agenda... as long as I'm a working man though, this is not always as easy as I would like it to be..  :(
But rest assured, you will be the first to know if it works out !  :D

Luc, I do not know what your line of work is.... but I am SURE that there is a world wide expert in your field who will be at the hotel at the time of the weekend  and available for discussion of your work....! ::) ;D

Sorry I duplicated a picture, this is the one I missed. The top table full of large pans of Cyclamen.

How nice to see such a grand display of cyclamen...... they are all looking very happy in their pots, aren't they? I bet there were some strained backs after carrying that lot to the benches!

Thanks, David!

I adore the Biarum! Before I clicked to enlarge, I thought someone was taking the micky and had arranged some tiny ceramic dwarfs in a pot. ;D Super Cyclamen too.

That's not a pot of Biarum. It's a birthday cake after the candles have been blown out! :P
