I am grateful for  this list - though  sad to see how this once vibrant show has been so greatly reduced in size with very few exhiibitors.  Thank goodness  those plants exhibited were of good quality!!

I am advised that in the 3 pan class from a single country (Japan in this case) with Epimedium and Maianthemum, the "not-fern" ( my mistake from misreading the photo!)  is Aruncus sylvester var sylvester. These were from David Millward. It is interesting that John Lee (entry on left) came up with the same theme of Japan for his entry.
