"show plants that never were"
« on: March 16, 2020, 06:19:19 PM »
The  cancellation of  so many  flower  shows  and  events  around the  country  is  necessary, but  disappointing  for  those  keen exhibitors -  so we've  started this  thread  for  folk to show  their   plants that would  have  gone  to  a  show - in hope  this  is  cheering. :)

 A reminder too that not  only  SRGC  and  Forum members are  welcome  to post  here - registration for the  Forum is  open to Alpine  Garden Society exhibitors  as  well!

Come  on, you may not  be  able  to take  your  plants  to a  show , but  you  can show  them here- to the  world!!

That's a brilliant idea Maggi! Plus they don't have to ber perfect on the day of the show... just snap them when they are at their best.

Stan da Prato has  started the  ball rolling with  pictures  of the  plants  he  was  going to take  to the  Stirling  show  - he's  posting  them here: http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=17733.0      :)

Another  from Sue  and  George  -  as with  other  things they do around  their  garden, they're  not doing  their  DIY show  with half measures!!

Here is my Allium Paradoxum 💚

I picked up the bulbs from a fellow AGS member last year & delighted with how they are doing!

Some plants that might have made it to the show:
Hepatica Millstream Merlin (now in a 10" pot)
Hepatica Touryoku
Primula Jackie Richards
Primulas Broadwell Milkmaid, Clarence Elliott and Moonlight
A couple of Hepatica accutiloba and a wee japonica.

Fabulous Hepatica Millstream Merlin - that would definitely have been a winner - next year surely!

We all had to stay in our frames rather than go to Dunblane on a lovely day out.  Cassiope wardii, Corydalis schanginii ainae, Corydalis Beth Evans, Erythronium citrinum x oregonum and Erythronium tuolumnense wild type.  More of our friends in a minute, and wouldn't it be nice if our human could take a better photo!
