Good to hear you and Ann had a grand time (as always!) with the chums over the water, Ian.

I'll move this thread to the "events" section.

Hmmmm..... Doesn't look like ludlowii to me.  Should have roundish flowers.  Jens?  Also leaves don't match; more leaves in the picture than a ludlowii would have in a lifetime.

A Farrer return?  :o
