Very cheering to hear that there are loads of entries arriving for the Solihull show.  Hope the same is true for the SRGC show at Perth and the AGS Show in Dublin!
Lots of chances to enjoy a great day out this weekend for those in the UK and Ireland, eh?  8) 8)

Many fine things there to appreciate. I particularly like both the Salix and the Larix. Iris paradoxa either had a bad night out or was suffering seriously from heat exhaustion. ::)
