Mark,
many thanks for showing the gardens I missed out on because I left early. But none of the Dvorak Museum?
cheers

thanks for the comments everyone

No-one had fake troughs in their gardens. Trough sizes ranged from the ?dog's water bowl to 3m and maybe longer. On the last day we passed an antiques bazar with lots of troughs for sale

Fermi I have no interest in the classics so didnt pay any attention to the museum. Many on the bus though we could have missed it out. Pity you missed the huge garden with the lake. It was a great end to the trip - for my bus anyway.

Dvorak Museum - my only photo

Mark, why do you have a new avatar that makes you look like a bulldog chewing a wasp?

Mark,
It has been very enjoyable seeing these beautiful gardens, because I visited nearly all. Thank you,

[Susan Band]

maggie, after spending a week with us on a bus, you would feel as if you had chewed a wasp

Franz your name came up many times during the conference. You had an invite but we heard you had a bad fall but you're now OK

Thank you for sharing the wonder of the Czech gardens.  (I would have been there however 3 weeks before the event I broke my leg . )  Now I see I must go there - hook or crook!

THANK YOU, MARK, FOR YOUR TAKE ON THE CZECH VISITS... YOU ARE RIGHT, OF COURSE, WE WOULD STILL LIKE TO SEE PHOTOS FROM THE OTHERS WHO ATTENDED TO GET THEIR IMPRESSIONS, TOO.

Pictures will come shortly!!   After getting home on Friday, I then spent all Saturday at Malvern Show, all Sunday potting up my 94 plants I bought (yes, Cliff, one is a buttercup) and attending to all my other plants which had not had my attention for 10 days or so (they have had the attention of my husband, but it's not quite the same  ) 

After taking a breath or two, now I will start sorting out my photos. 

I would have been there however 3 weeks before the event I broke my leg . )  Now I see I must go there - hook or crook!

Charlotte, you wouldn't have been the only broken leg there, although I noticed the plants taking precendence over disabled wife as to who got the wheel chair.  Perhaps Ian B will post the picture!

WHAT A LITTLE WINNER YOU ARE MRS. C.   

[John Forrest]

Cracking pics Mark and am looking forward to Diane's.

Did Lionel Clarkson behave himself on the trip?

[Diane Clement]

WHAT A LITTLE WINNER YOU ARE MRS. C. 

Don't get too excited, it's nearer to repens than glacialis

[Diane Clement]

Did Lionel Clarkson behave himself on the trip?

Again, pictures to follow on this aspect .....
Maybe Lionel the lurker will post some of his own as well   

[mark smyth]

Are you talking about Lionel from Birmingham? If so I think his wife out bought everyone. I bought two Ranunculus - crenatus and alpestris
