Luc - my wife really liked those tufa plantings just outside the Show Hall, and it gives me hope that my long awaited tufa garden might bear fruit this year! Some lovely plants; I really liked Hyacinthella dalmatica but the highlights for me were Primula 'Arduaine', not a large plant but beautifully presented, and Trillium nivale, just the loveliest of things. I think the nurserymen always like Harlow; it is spring arriving and there is a great atmosphere.

Your Balance of Payments should be ok now David...  ;D ... and a further surge is to be expected at the Kent Show shortly... no busload of belgians then, but some export of John Innes compost (along with more plants) is to be expected on that occasion !!  ;D

Some more goodies from the show now :



1) Colchicum kesselringii
2 and 3) Dionysia termeana caught the attention of the judges !!
4) Eranthis "Guinea Gold"
5) Galanthus "Straffan"
6) Hyacinthella pallens
7) Ipheon sellowianum
8 ) Iris aucheri - quite compact
9) Iris kushakewiczi
10) Iris rosenbachiana "Tovil Dara"

The tufa mini gardens were amazing and quite inspiring Tim... I hope you'll have a go at them too !

The pot of EA Bowles was exhibited by Monksilver nurseries Mark.

I'm afraid I can't help you with the questions Cliff and Ron...  :'( I hope somebody else can.

The Colchicum kesselringii was shown by Lee & Julie Martin. The tufa gardens were not  Dave Philbey's. I think Dave's stepson, photographer extraordinaire Jon Evans who helps him with them would have had a heart attack if Dave had asked him to take that many to one show. I'm pretty sure they were shown by Michael Sullivan from Brentwood who shows in the Novice section and who I think qualified for his Bronze Merit medal but as the show results have not yet been posted I am relying on memory.

I was quite happy with what I found Ron...

Daphne petrea "Tremalzo"
Ranunculus parnassifolius - nuria form (had been on my wanted list for at least 10 years...)
Gentiana depressa
Crocus chrisantus "Sunspot"

went in the trunk of the bus...  :D  ... now all I have to do is try and grow them properly...  ;)

Oh, sorry for jumping to conclusions, I just assumed they were David's as I saw him standing next to them!
