last pic of s2 then a nice foliage trough from new show secretary  Alison  Hogg in the non competitive class. Alison  also found time to create   a very colourful  trough to brighten the show entrance.

Finally  the  Perth team soon had  the big hall cleared. Alison tells me there were 20 exhibitors - down a bit as some people weren't  able  to come -but they still managed 145 entries of which 25 were  in section 2.

Love the Primula maximowiczii Stan. I've just bought a young one - any tips on growing?

Vulnerable to dry hot weather which  may be an issue where you are -it can  be even  on the east of Scotland these  days. If in a pot keep out of your alpine  house in summer in shade and well watered. Move under cover in winter.  Leafy or peaty compost but free draining. Can be short  lived so make use of any seed it produces.

Thanks Stan, it's currently in a pot on the north side of the house. Biggest challenge so far is the very tame cock blackbird who insists on pulling all newly potted plants out of their pots, presumably just in case I've been burying worms underneath them...

From Stan's  photos  we  can see that the entries were  down on previous  years - but  good to see the  RBGE  Alpine  Dept. put on a display - and won a  Gold  Medal for their  efforts. Photos  from Petra  Palkova, SRGC member and  RBGE  employee and  "reporter" !

 Interesting to see that there  is a  higher  number  of  "alpines"   than the  usual display which is  often "bulb heavy". Such is the  season!
 Nice to see  David  Knott  send  congratulations  to  Petra  Palkova  and  Scott  Cook on Facebook for their  work, too!

Nice to see  Petra  - she  is  great at posting pix from RBGE on Social Media!

 Loving  new  Show  Secretary Alison's troughs, and  good to "see"  her too! 

Thanks Stan!!  :-*
