Mick, you have perfectly captured the rather virulent yellow of R. Shamrock, well done!

Lots of plants here to tempt and encourage us all...... thank goodness for all you Forumists around the country to give us the  pleasure of three shows in one day! 
And I've just been in the kentucky woods with the Graingers... as well as cycling in Belgium and curling in Canada(?).... Grand prix highlights from Bahrain later... it's a wonder I'm not permanently jet-lagged! ::)

Cliff modesty did actually prevent me from taking a picture of my winner. A Pulsatilla cernua grown from SRGC seed exchange last year, entered in plant grown from seed class.
As the one entered was a last minute replacement for my intended plant, that looked very tired that morning. I dont have a picture on file even. However here is one of the originally intended entry from a few days ago.
Mandy also won a prize, in the raffle, of a chocolate egg. Which Maggi will be pleased to know was opened before I got the car out of the car park.

I knew we could beat that modesty into submission Mick....!   :)

Lovely plant.....a few more shows and you will be challenging the big boys (and girls) in the Open Section.

Many thanks to all the pic posters, a brilliant show with fabulous plants. What the heck is Phelypaea coccinea? Great to see some of "mine," though I think Celmisia longifolia is an Aussie species and yes, Myosotis pulvinaris is right Martin. Slightly etoliated, but a super specimen for its obvious age. Not at all easy to grow and keep in long term good health.

It is a parasitic plant.  I saw this near to Lake Van.  It is a very rich red in colour
