Malvern Spring Show

[Giles]

Just a few of the stands that caught my eye.

last 4.

absence of people due to most of the pictures being taken before the show opened.
(It was actually very busy)

[Maggi Young]

Displays look terrific, Giles. Is the weather going to hold up for the duration of the show? Always such a shame if the rain comes and reduces the visitor numbers after all that hard work has been put in.

Are Susan & Richard Clements the Show Secretaries for the AGS show at Malvern? Hope tomorrow's a good day for them, too!

Do you know who had the Geum stand? It was shown on Gardener's World but they didn't say who had them. Coverage as ever was rubbish

Proud Plants, East of Eden Nurseries, Carlisle.

They were, and they did a great job

 Hope tomorrow's a good day for them, too!

It was for them, and the rest of us    except for the weather - tippling down with rain most of the day  

Just a brief flavour of the event, a few more later, and I dare say MartinR will have a few up his sleeve as well.

Cecilia Coller is well known to all show attenders as an incredibly prolific grower and exhibitor.  Her little white van must be a sort of Tardis as I have no idea how she gets all these plants inside.  Here are just a selection of her plants which she was unloading onto a temporary table prior to working out which class they all go in.  The great lady herself was not keen on being photographed.  The Gordon's Gin box held a super Rhododendron "Yaku Fairy"

[Diane Clement]

The Farrer was won by local lad Eric Jarrett with Androsace x marpensis

[Maggi Young]

What a super Androsace...   very smart exhibit.

I wish Celia Coller lived within striking distance of the Aberdeen Show.... a delivery of plants like that would gladden the Show Secretaries' hearts no end!
