I started at the top of the page and noted how well appart the pots were spaced and thought, thin show, not many entries!
Then I scrolled down and looked at your individual pictures. WOW, what great plants Frits going well already and you seem to indicate Dionysia nearly over. We live in a different world.
Well done everyone in Caerleon.
-
Great posting, Rob,
Loved, particularly, N. 'Gypsy Queen', a beautiful understated colouration.

Seems Spring is much further on at Caerleon than in Scotland. What a lovely flavour of the super plants on show, Rob. thank you very much!
-
Great photographs of a great Show.
I wonder is it really a Notoschordum? Was it once an Iphieon?
-
Caerleon is just too far for me to travel Rob....many thanks for your excellent shots of some VERY early plants. I've only got Callianthemums in flower at the moment here in East Lancashire.
-
Rob, the Anacamptis is papilionacea which I also had in flower at Dunblane (though I have i labelled as Orchis papilionacea).
-
Anthony
I've tracked down the anacamptis label for you.
Also added some more pics, since no-one else seemed to get to the show.

Maggi
Have you put the names in the posts so they show on the search engine?
I forgot all about that, sorry.
-
Yes, Rob, that's right... file names don't show up on the search. No problem!

The epigaea was gaultherioides for the full name, seed sown 16.01.98
I bought an Ipheion dialystemon which looked like the Nothoscordum

Nothoscordum dialystemon is the "currently" accepted name for what used to be called Ipheion dialystemon. (Most of the other Ipheions are now Tristagma).
Super pictures of the show, sorry I couldn't be there.

Thanks for info - I will now change my labels for the second time, as wasn't Iphieon dialystemon previously something beginning with b

Rob, thanks for taking the time and the trouble, great pictures.

Rob, the Anacamptis is papilionacea which I also had in flower at Dunblane (though I have i labelled as Orchis papilionacea).
I still call mine orchis pap. Every year I look at the new names on the orchis/ophrys usually at the Blackpool show and think 'new names same old plants. Very nice whatever they are called.
When I got my ipheion which it became I think from nothoscordum, it was called beauvardia and having just looked at my label it still is.
very nice pictures of a super show with some lovely plants

Don't be too hasty, Arthur, you are making the rash assumption that the taxonomists have finished with them!
;D ;D

I thought Caerleon sounded Scottish. Where is it?
-
Caerleon is in south Wales, near Newport. Caerlaverock is in Scotland, in Dumfrieshire, you may have got mixed up with that.
-
Wonderful!!
(The show season is starting - yippee for the photos for us deprived folks!!)

I just found those beautiful pictures of the show.
Thank you Rob for showing them.
For oversea-people it's seldom possible to visit such beautiful shows, so seeing them in the Forum is
the only way!
-
Great pictures Rob !
Luit is absolutely right - we tend to only dream of these events... :'(
However.... I'm looking forward to visit the AGS Harlow show in a couple of weeks :P

.... and some big spending at the plant sales too Luc?
-
That danger does exist David.... ::)
I'll have to carefully consider how many £ I take with me... I'll need to discuss this with my bank manager.... :P
-
There are more photos from the Show on the AGS website.
-
The AGS website has been updated with more photos
http://www.alpinegardensociety.net/servlet/htmlservlet/shows/results/shows2008/shows/wales/photogallery.html
The ones with a green card background are new. I saw the photographers taking them on the day. They removed the plants from the showbench and took them over to the window to get natural light. One of the photographers stood on a chair with a reflector to even out the light and they were using a tripod with a cable release so they should be better than my snaps.
The Dionysia I called unknown as I didn't note the name looks to be 'Orion'

If you are going to be at the Harlow Show, I will bring your snowdrops there.
How to identify you? I will be pushing a wheelchair with my mother in it. Anyone on the AGS plant stall will know me. I expect to arrive at 11.30
See you there.

Sorry Arthur, much too far East for me I'm afraid.
