Glad to say Stan did manage to squeeze in the car with all his fabulous plants….  and it was a treat to see them on the bench. 

His display of blue and yellow plants was well received and much commented on. 🥰

Thanks  Susan. The blue & yellow were some bedding plants which one would not normally  take to an alpine show but  I though a small gesture  might be appropriate. I'll post  some  pics of the  many fine alpines  at this  very well organsed show once I've  sorted them out.

Once again Frank & Barbara Hoyle tabled a magnificent  large 6 pan in class 1 which  won the Sewell medal and included  the Farrer winning Sax Coolock Gem - a most appropriate  name -and a merit certificate winning Dionysia aretioides. They also received  another merit certificate for a saxifrage in another class.

Chris Lilley won the Kirby cup for best foliage with Saxifraga Cecil Davis.However my notes seem to be inadequate here as I also  photographed  Alan  Oatway's Meconopsis with a  Kirby  cup card  beside  it . Anne Wright  won the Duncan Lowe award for best plant in a 19 cm pot with Narcissus Giselle, one of several elegant  little narcissi  she exhibted. Pat Murphy took the Michael Roberts trophy for section B and the David Mowle award for best bulb in a 19cm pot in sections 2/3 wth N Medway Gold.

North west members staged  a very informative display  on growing alpines in containers  which the judges unanimously  recognised  with a large gold medal. It was too large   to get in  one photo.

Magnificent report once again Stan thank you for taking me and the others who still cannot attend in person to the Show with you the only thing I am missing is the cakes and the chat.

Well done on your entry and I am sure most of the world will appreciate the sentiments behind your blue and yellow display .

These shows only take place because local members put in a lot of work to set everything  up and run the day

All good things come to an end. Within  half an hour of the show closing the plants  were into cars and the  very efficient local  team were  dismantling  the staging. I'm told there were 16 exhibitors in the open section wth 345 plants in 224 entries; 15 exhibitors in section 2 with 96 plants in 84 entries and two people  in section 3 entering eight  plants.

Many thanks for your efforts, Stan - quite a feat to not only support the show with your plants but also to share your photos with us so we can all enjoy the proceedings.
 Your Ukraine  flag coloured  flowers are a touching tribute to our Ukrainian friends who are suffering so much right now. 

Well done!
