Is anyone going to the Loughborough Show who could take photo's of any snowdrops that are put up for award by the Joint Rock Garden Plant Committee?

Cliff Curtis has kindly agreed to do a write up of any snowdrops for this year's edition of the RHS Daffodil, Snowdrop & Tulip Yearbook & I would like to have some photo's of the actual plants that are put up for award, to illustrate his write up.

Hi Chris,
I will be at Loughborough with camera but dont think I'll get access to the snowdrops put up to joint rock. It may be better to get in touch with whoever is taking official shots as these are taken outside. Any photos taken in the hall will have a yellow cast due to the lighting, if you look at report from last years show you'll see what I mean.
Cheers
Mick

Chris, have you tried getting in touch with Jim McGregor, who, as Shows Director of the AGS,  would be able to help you with your plant award photo project?

Maggi - many thanks for this thought - following my earlier post I have now had an offer of help, which is greatly appreciated

Hope a good selection of photos are to follow.
I will give Loughborough a miss this year I think after Harlow.

Well it was another good Loughborough show. Interesting to see lots of snowdrops which usually aren't seen at this show and the Saxifrages had made it for this week but how strange at this show to have a small pan Primula allionii class with 3 entries instead of the usual 20 something.

I didn't take any plant pictures today although several forum members did.

I did however manage to capture, on a poor mobile phone camera, the first training session of a Pudsey piglet. She knows who she is!
