« on: January 15, 2017, 07:02:27 PM »
The ever popular SRGC Early Bulb Day  will take place on  18th February 2017 - where there will be the usual display of plants in flower, sales tables and TWO talks from one of the Gothenburg wizards-  Johan Nilson, no stranger to SRGC members.

 All welcome to attend this fantastic day!

Some of the great plants being prepared by Sarah and Ali of Ardfearn to take to  Dunblane tomorrow - they've also added some  ericaceous beauties now - so all going well and they're looking forward to the Dunblane Day- except, perhaps, for their  4.45am alarm call, which may  not be such fun !

Photos from Dunblane from Matt Topsfield .... who arrived by train, I believe - the station is just over the road from the hall, very handy!

Some getting their seats - some still shopping - I spot Neil Huntley  of Hartside behind his stall - this is just a few moments before the first talk.

Matt says " Johan's second talk has covered alpines all over the Gothenburg BG - from Dionysias to Shortias - as well as transporting us off to Bhutan, the Pontic Mountains in Turkey as well as the Rockies in Colorado."
