So many really super plants to enjoy... but I must pick out that lovely Lewisia brachycalyx from Jim McGregor. How fresh and neat it is... the foliage is the picture of health.

 Not to mention Peter Hood's pink version...lovely as well.

Seems early for that plant from the perspective of Aberdeen's climate so an especial treat to see it.

Lovely images Anne, but I suspect that the clock on your camera might be slightly awry ... most of the exhibitors would have been on the motorway and well on their way home by 16.39!!!?   :D

Cheers Cliff- just put it right! :-[

Mind you I've just put them on AGS site and included one of Loughborough :-[ :-[

Yes it's a stampede at the end, it amazes me how quickly the plants disappear- can't say as I blame the people who come such a long way though!
