As already mentioned Alan Furness did not so bad either, some of his plants included
Crocus hadriaticus (71)
Celmisia semi cordata (30), the best foliage plant at the show and so won the Millenium Trophy
Snapper Stan did not only take pictures he did well with show plants as well
Tanacetum densum (29)
Petrocosmea minor (50)
Gentiana 'The Caley' (15)

I did manage to exhibit a few things to include
Class 28, made up of
Brachyglottis bidwillii 'Basil Fox', a good show plant but a devil to keep the foliage in good fettle as it is difficult to clean
Leucogenes leontopodium was in the middle and at the front was
Ozothamnus coralloides
I also nearly gave myself a hernia carrying in my
Bolax gummifera (18) as it is now in the maximum 36 cm pot, grown from a cutting I took in 1997, not sure it will make any more shows because of the weight

Hit the wrong button again!!
Cyclamen cilicium from Ian Kidman (58)
Saxifraga fortune 'Fumiko' (51) from Rod and Hilary Price. In the main the S. fortune were less in number and less well flowered than we usually see at this show, everyone says its just this year and the weather.
Coprosma petrei from Trevor and Angie Jones (35) again won easily, I also show it in close up for you to see the berries, so much a feature of this plant.

That is all the pictures I took, still leaves out a lot of the show but Stans photographs and Ians give the right idea of the show.

Wonderful - just super - not as good as being there- but VERY nearly so!

No two ways about it - light is good in a greenhouse!  Aberdeen show in part of the Winter Gardens in Duthie Park proved that - though heat was more of a problem there in May!  Cowells seems to have been a real winner.

As there's lots of plant pictures here already, I thought that I would put my 'official' pictures from the show on the AGS site. This is the link:

http://www.alpinegardensociety.net/discussion/atshows/Newcastle+Show/20003/

I also have have pictures from the show benches to follow here later.
