Just back from the Glasgow show.  Here are a few general views.  Ian Young was busy with his camera so Maggie will have some work to before posting.  The food was up to the usual high standard as the pictures show.  Off to watch Dr. Who now !!!

A few more. As I have said already there should be a lot more pictures to come from the number of cameras in operation at the show.

Sandy Leven getting his photos for his show report.....

Flowers and foliage close-ups of Pteridophyllum racemosum

I'd have called this plant Daphne gemmata.... shows how much I know  :-[  :-\
In fact, because it has five petals and not four, it is Wikstroemia gemmata...
