Many thanks to Bob and Brenda Worsley and their fabulous team of helpers for making Bakewell AGS Show such an enjoyable and successful event.  The benches were overflowing with splendid and colourful exhibits and the plant sales areas were busy all day. Hearty congratulations to prominent and established exhibitors, Rod and Shirley Johnson from Bollington on scooping their first Farrer Medal with their beautiful pan of Rhododendron lowndesii.

Exhibited by Geoff Rollinson and probably appearing for the first time on any show bench anywhere in the world this beautiful little cushion plant caused excitement and mirth in equal measure.

Great pictures, Cliff.  The Lewisia rediviva is superb and nothing shabby about the edraianthus either.

Cliff,
I'm sure we could apply to have the genus re-named on the grounds that they are very tricky'uns!

Brian and I would like to offer a public thank you to Victoria and Brenda Newton for their wonderful help on Saturday. They carried IN and OUT far more of our plants than we did.  It was very much appreciated. We would have been there still without them :-*
