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.

I took photos of 50 plants at the show

I was pushed for time and had the idea to photograph only red ticket plants. Stoopid me I didnt.

Do I show all plants or what I like?

Farrer winner Rhododendron

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?
