.... There would have been the addition of a picture of the largest specimen of Lewisia tweedyi I have ever seen, in full flower, in a tall 40cm pot, but I forgot to go back and picture it. It was a stormer.

Ever done any fishing David?  ;D

You also forgot to mention that you met me at the show David. Even took a picture with me in it. Second pic in the very first batch. In a purple wind jacket, ear sticking through my hair - as it does. 8)

To the pictures then. I don't find it easy taking pictures in public, and in crowded Halls it's not possible to take adequate time to frame a shot, or to fiddle with settings, so apologies for the quality of some of them.


David

You have taken exellent photographs of excellent plants.  I do not think they could have been any better if there was nobody about

You're teasing me, David, it's not fair!!
I think this is the Lewisia tweedyii you forgot to picture, isn't it? I spotted it at once in your first show scene pic!


That was the one, biggest Lewisia I've ever seen (how on earth did they get it to flower now!). There you are Lesley, that proves it! ;D

Sadly Luit died on 14th October 2016 - happily we can still enjoy his posts to the Forum

Thanks for the info on the photographs David. Not terribly succesful in those classes, but I had entries in several others. However we're still waiting for the AGS website to show the results, so fingers crossed.
For our Irish forumists, the same pictures will also be appearing in Dublin and Ulster shows - if only we could post the plants, no more 5.00am starts, but I suppose we would them miss out on the social side.
