Show today was good but with fewer entries than normal,the weather certainly didn"t help.
Attendance also was well down this year ,but it was nice to meet up with Luc Gilgemyn for the first time.

For me the highlight of the show was also the smallest entry.
Australian Terrestial Orchid Corybas Diementicus.

Hope that everyone got back from the show safely; the M11 was awash when I was heading back although by the time I reached the A120 the road was dry and sunny.  I drove nice and slow up the A12 as there is a steep back stuffed with snowdrops by the road just before the Suffolk border. 

Met Arthur (Art600), a very friendly chatty man, but missed the other forumists.

Like Eric I thought the Corybas was one of the highlights but also enjoyed Amands display on Iris reticulata cultivars and pretty well all the show plants!  Most popular snowdrop seems to be 'Sophie North' with four or five good potfuls.

Great pictures Gail.  I'm scratching around for something for Loughborough next week and having seen what was at Harlow Brian and I are definitely only going for the beer.

The Iris display.... is it by Jacques AMAND bulbs? Wondering if there is a new company I haven't heard of?

Not to worry, Gail! I know the feeling only too well myself.
Many thanks for your photos from the show, by the way!



Eric, who could resist that cute Corybas? Thank goodness for magnification on cameras, eh?!!

Eric,

G. 'Corrin' strikes me as lovely snowdrop. Nice of you to post it.

We know Luc G arrived at Harlow...... did he get home again safely?

Aha! He is online and has just posted in an  Iris thread..... so he seems safe home!
