I understand the Forrest Medal has been awarded to the Doctors Bainbridge ( well done Madam President Carole and former President Ian !!) for a beautiful pot of a saxifrage, grown , I think, from seed collected by Ron McBeath . 8)
Super show, I'm told- by someone who forgot his camera......... :'(
-
I did have a camera. First the 3 pan with the Forrest saxifraga as well as the best bulb trophy- Narcissus watieri -the trio also won class 2 and the Dundas Quaich. Next the sax in close up. Then Cyril's winning 6 pan which took the class 1 Caird trophy and included a merit cert for a Tecophilaea. Cyril then had another certificate for a second Tec. as well as the Halley award for a rare or difficult plant.
-
Some more award winning entries. The Bainbridges also received a merit cert for their Kelseya. Bill Robinson was awarded a certificate for his Narcissus bulbocodium named after his wife Marion. Margaret and Henry Taylor took the Perth trophy for most points by local residents. Graeme Butler had best Asiatic primula and the Bobby Masterton and Murray Lyon trophies with P.cashmeriana. Sue Simpson swept the boards in section 2 with best plant, most points and a bronze medal.
-
Two more certificates of merit. Tom Green received one for his Townsendia while Cyril took yet another for his large Primula Broadwell Mikmaid - the certificate was not on the bench when the photo was taken.
-
another view of the winning 3 pan alongside Cyril's very good entry in the same class then his winning small 6 pan in class A then some views of the 3 and 6 pan classes.

Good that Sandy has given us some more detail - my snaps give a quick overview - there is still scope for knowledgeable people to contribute more information about the plants and I would encourage them to do so.
