First the Levers' Farrer plant Sebaea Bychan which had to beat off some every strong competition - see merit certificates shortly. Don Peace's fine plants took several awards with a merit certificate for a Fritillaria Lentune Slate , the AGS small 6 pan medal and the Sandhoe trophy for best plant in a 19 cm pot with another frit F. pinardii. He also took the Cooke plate for most points in the open section. Final one of this group is George Young's 3 pan from a named continent - North America - which took the Bill McKenzie trophy.

Next the new David Boyd memorial award for a Hepatica taken by Alan Newton. Cyril Lafong won he EB Watson trophy for a new, rare or difficult plant with Saxifraga quadrifaria. The Alpines 2001 trophy -in the form of a dinosaur coprolite! - for best cushion plants which moves round the shows went to a very impressive Helichrysum pagopyhllum shown by the Hoyles. As the only entrant to class 1 I received the AGS medal for 6 large pots.

Some well deserved merit certs. Ian Kidman's Ranunculus alpestris. Geoff Rollinson's Primula henrici. Then Billy Moore's Trillium chloropetalum Bob Gordon mentioned earlier.

My word, some really cracking plants there - congratulations to all those growers. Angus T, the new Show Secretary, must be pleased with the day!
Very fetching large six pan, Stan -good balance. I can't tell you, though, how pleased I am not to have had to carry them!
