AGS NORTH MIDLAND SHOW at Chesterfield on 14th April 2007

ranunculus:
A very warm day for the AGS North Midland Show at Chesterfield .... entries down a little, but still a magnificent display of beautiful alpines to greet the many visitors.  Congratulations to Mike and Judy and their super team for staging another excellent event. The Farrer Medal went to Mike and Christine Brown from the Wirral for a large and floriferous Paraquilegia (and before you all reach for your keyboards to tell me that they have already won a Farrer Medal with that plant at Cleveland Show last Saturday, it must be stated that this is their NUMBER TWO plant....the previous Farrer winner was ceremoniously 'given away' to a fellow exhibitor after the success at Cleveland)!!!  What a pair of growers they are.
Just a few images to start the ball rolling....so many cameras were clicking away that this wonderful forum should soon be awash with colour and form.

Maggi Young:
Ranunculus crithmifolius  always reminds me of an old joke whose punchline is " Yethh, and I'm only thithteen"
We grow this buttercup in one of the raised slab beds... the one that used to be full of New Zealand plants but which has now been re-jigged to have Saxifragas and allsorts in it , too!


What can you say about Mike and Christine Brown?  :o They are great growers, indeed. I imagine that if the new owner of last week's Farrer medal-winning plant can keep it in half as good condition as the Browns' then he/she will be well-pleased!! ::)

Keep 'em coming, Cliff, this is great!
