My apologies, but I have tried three times to post the portrait versions of Fritillaria gibbosa and Disa uniflora but the forum page keeps turning them on their sides ....

Hi Cliff, a wonderful set of pictures from Blackpool show. I must say it was difficult to decide the Forrest medal winner as so many brillient plants were on the show bench, I was worried the benches would collaps with the weight of these huge saxifrages. I was also delighte that a few forumist came up and said hello in fact one or two won red tickets so well done. I post my few pitures from the show and have tried not to copy the ones from Cliff all are worth seeing again anyway,  cheers Ian the Christie kind.
