but tell me Luit, what is the purpose of exhibiting a mixed vase of Galanthus?

To prove that they are really all the same. ;D
But some did look a bit anaemic ;D
Thanks again, Luit,
for showing us these great pics!
It must be wonderful to see such bounty on a weekly basis!
cheers

Many beautiful entries of Hippeastrum and Narcissus last Monday.
The most pictures I show are overviews.
There was one exhibitor with at least 75 different Narcissus in vases.
If it's of interest you may see two famous Dutch bulbgrowers on the pictures (both were many years asked for
judging at RHS Daffodil an Tulip Shows in London)

There was one pot with an unkown Pelargonium, well there was a name (P. Namalux) but that was probably not the right name

Luit,

It is always such a pleasure to see these exhibits.  It must be amazing to be able to visit a display like this every week..... just like having your own show weekly.  And I'm sure that what we see doesn't really give an idea of the scale and scope of the display.  Thanks so much for showing us.
Cheers.

Noss Mayo is very nice Luit, another Cornish raised Daff.

Noss Mayo village is very nice too, if a bit "boaty"! Many years ago now when I first came down to Devon to work and before Maureen and the kids joined me I went to Noss Mayo one evening for a pint. Later in the evening a chap came into the bar and announced to the locals something like "Give it another 45 minutes and a blue Horizon (I drove a Talbot Horizon then) will be floating" and I joined in the laughter before realising it was mine. I had to take off shoes socks and jeans and wade out to it and water was just lapping the bottom of the doors. It started first pull though ;D

Yes Paul, it is always amazing indeed. And I am glad that I am able to share at least some pictures here on the Forum.

Lovely story David! I think it will still often happen that people will find their car (almost) floating after a nice walk and afterwards a visit to the pub for a meal.
