SOUTHPORT AGS SHOW 19th MAY 2007 (70TH ANNIVERSARY EVENT)
« on: May 19, 2007, 10:42:31 PM »
The 70th AGS Southport Show was held today; 19th May 2007 and this special event was celebrated in grand style by former Southport Show Secretary (and Local Group stalwart) Brian Russ from Ormskirk with a splendid display evoking the history and nostalgia of this popular Lancashire based event.
The show itself featured many outstanding exhibits and the plant voted 'Best in Show', Dianthus brevicaulis gained one more worthy Farrer Medal for Hexham's Alan Furness.
Many congratulations to current Show Secretary, Roger Beecham and his hard-working team on yet another memorable event.

Sorry I didn't take my camera yesterday so it's nice to see some of my plants on record.  I just wanted to clarify the names of a couple of onions.  Picture 7 on Cliff's first offering is Allium pallasii.  Pictures 4 and 5 in this section show a plant labelled as Allium griffithianum.  This is my plant and is NOT A griffithianum.  I labelled it as such having bought it as such, and I was a bit doubtful that this was correct.  It was confirmed to me at the show that it was wrong, and I'm fairly sure now it is from Western US.  I've had no time to further research it, so I am open to suggestions as to the name. 

Thanks to Cliff for another excellent report of the show

Thanks folks for the kind comments....just realised that there is a little man trying to do some damage to the head of poor Alan Furness in the Farrer Medal picture (set one)....perhaps a disenchanted exhibitor?
