I'm posting  some photos of plants  that would probably  have been on the benches on Saturday here as they all refer to the Stirling/Dunblane event.  It's a bit of an experiment  and  it throws  up some practical problems not there  when the plant is on a bench in front  of you such as contrast  in the photos - pale colours over expose  in group classes-, labels not legible or even visible  However as we are not  judging or awarding prizes no need to worry too much.


Class 5 three from open ground  (one not lifted yet nor will it be now). Saxifraga, Erica cv, N. Tete a tete

                                            Crocus balansae Zwanenburg, Cyclamen coum Silver Leaf, Ornithogalum oligophyllum

Terrific effort, Stan and  proof  if  any  were  needed  of  what the  shows  miss when you  cannot  attend!

I've  edited your  posts  to  fit the  images beside the  class descriptions to  make  viewing simpler   ;)

Thanks Maggi -that is a great help.  Realistically  some of those pots  would  never  have  made it  to a real show  bench but I found it a  useful  exercise  which  I intend to repeat  for all the other  spring shows.

Many thanks, Stan ... it also goes to show that you are slightly further on with flowering than I am here in Lancashire.  Lovely pictures to brighten my recovery to full health.
