Aberdeen show 2011

Anthony, - Angie is being over modest, - in addition to all the red cards, she got a Certificate of Merit with one of your former plants.

[Maggi Young]

That's right, and when I find my camera I can prove it! Angela also won the Brian Bull Memorial Trophy for the best two pan exhibit in Class 63 of Section II... a rather nice Caithness Glass bowl that can be admired in her sitting room for the next year

Guess who now has a bigger trophy than her husband 

Angie

[Anthony Darby]

That trophy sounds familiar?

[ichristie]

I must add my congratulations to everyone who showed plants as well as the fantastic teas, cakes and rolls I was almost first in the queue very early. I post a few pictures, cheers Ian the Christie kind.

[Anthony Darby]

Good gracious. Angie's cyp looks wonderful and 'Aki' is looking good too.

[Maggi Young]

I'm still wrestling photos here, amongst other things.... but Angie had other great cyps, too. There were two labelled macranthos that were quite different and I wonder if there had been a label mix-up but I can't tell one from another so perhaps I'll find photos that you cyp fans can work out the names of later!I never had a chance to speak to Angie about it on the day... there was too much going on!

[Anthony Darby]

The one above is familiar to me Maggi.

[Maggi Young]

Ian has batch resized his pictures so I'll post them and get my lot finished some time!!

The one above is familiar to me Maggi.

They should all be familiar to you Anthony  the others that I bought a few years ago are still not open yet.
Labels , one of the Cyps should have been Emil. Still have some plants with wrong names, my great niece had a bit of fun with my plant labels one day.

I just love Cyril's Silene hookeri.

Great pictures, thanks.
Angie 

[Maggi Young]

Here is the Cyp of Angie's that I thought had the wrong name..... is it the front one that is 'Emil'?
