Post by: Maggi Young on April 24, 2016, 07:22:52 PM

No sign of any pictures from the  Northern Irish  AGS show on 9th April but happily I am allowed by Paddy Tobin to share his photos with the forum from the Cabinteely  AGS show  on 23rd April.

Paddy reports that the first port of call for visitors tends to be the AGS members' plant stall!

Lovely to see a Certificate of Merit to Tropaeolum tricolorum from Val Keegan -pic  pinched from  "Erica cineraea" on Twitter !
Val is well known to SRGC folks - though she hasn't attended a Discussion weekend for ages - but her sister lives in Aberdeenshire so she is very well-connected!

A wonderful show and thanks so much for these great photos, Paddy (through Maggi) and Michael. Some truly fantastic plants there and much for us all to aspire to.
