Weather looked pretty good in the pics it rained most of the day here.

everyone within an hour or 90 minutes should attend. It's an amazing day out. Last I heard was 40 cars of people attended

The selection of bulbs are jaw dropping

My Chum Alan  drove from Ponteland, by Newcastle, to help put up tent etc and sell bulbs all day... he does that every year..... drive is around four hours or more each way!

Crazy people, those bulb fanatics.

Now home and pondering where I am going to put all those many many little bulbs (including many coals-to-Newcastle narcissi). It was lovely to meet the other forumists - see you all again in two years time, I hope!

I was surprised when I got home to find a very tall "drumstick" in a pot of what I vaguely thought was some sort of Colchicum (no label - I'd noted the name but hadn't checked my notebook - and I'd only noted the amount of leaves). An Ornithogalum saundersiae just few centimetres shorter than me!

Do I take it that serious numbers of £GB were spent?

 
I went Ice skating, sowed seeds and potted some junos, -that was a lot less expensive 

[mark smyth]

here are a few great bargains from the sale - Galanthus Sophie North £2, reginae-olgae 5 for £5, Colchicum montana 5 for £5, Colchicum marcophyllum £1 each

One of my purchases from the bulb sale is labelled "Narcissus stacueni" - any ideas what it might be?

I don't suppose you remember which stall it was from Chloe?
