What a lovely show.  I see the Dale's in the first picture with the grandchildren.  Hope they did well....

[Lina Hesseling]

Angie, congratulations from me too!
Just must have had a great day, all of you.

Maggie, I wonder how you are! Is there a lot of damage? Must have been a desaster, happening on a day that you are so busy!!

Lina.

Yes aren't they beautiful, and beautifully grown, plants     Well done indeed Angie.

Thanks very much for the report Stan.  As always, much appreciated by those of us who are geographically challenged.

Can anyone please tell me what the lovely little white rhododendron is, in the left foreground of Stan's Picture 2?

[Michael J Campbell]

 Congratulations Angie, good show.

It is Rhododendron 'Egret'

Its beautiful...

And not exactly little Christine - not sure how Stan fits all his plants into his car - I think it is actually a tardis myself

I remember Mike Dale telling me one year how Maggi & Ian were struggling in with a dustbin containing a rhodo, you seem to go in for biggies up there ....

Thanks Graham.  One I must look out for.

Ashley, this is mine that I bought at the size of the one in the show about 10 or 12 years ago.

I'm still editing photos, but Stan is correct... the girls, Heather's daughters, Erica, Rowan and Primrose ( Rosie) were awrded an equal first in a special class for Junior gardens. They entered the "posey" class , too...
 More later .....

Thanks Stan

... in the posey pic... the entries are as follows;
 Back left, Rowan Beaton, back left, Erica Beaton,
 Centre left, Helen Greenwood, centre right, Rosie (Primrose) Beaton
 front left, Carol Marriott.

 Rowan and Erica are twins.... I think they must be nearly six now, Rosie is four. I won't tell you how old Helen and Carol are....

 Erica won first prize, Helen second and Rowan , third.
