Hello everyone,
finally I got to the Prague show. Unfortunately for a person with my interests I found simply no species to my collection. Although I saw extraordinary plants during it. I also visited two people neare Prague where I got Pulsatilla slavica and Pulsatilla pratensis ssp. nigricans, so I cannot say it was unsuccessful. But my cousin (used to be called aunt) was very joyful and astonished with the amount of beautiful species. I think it was the best in all that exhibition to see her so happy.
Now sit cosily and wach the photos... Almost forgot. I will ad only few photos here, because there are too many of them. Rest you can see in my album HERE (http://s12.photobucket.com/albums/a206/cephalotus/Wystawy/Praga%2008/) if you want.

Hope it was not too much. :D

I really wanted to be there but it fell apart but I will be there in 2009. Considering the last show at the moment
-
Oh no....not TOO MUCH AT ALL! Wonderful posting...many thanks.
-
Wonderful photos Chris, but how did you manage to post more than 10 per posting ???
-
Beautiful walk in the Prague mountains Chris ;D !
Certainly brings up the urge to try and get there next year !
Thank you very much and it definitely wasn't too much ! ::)
-
Thanks for the report it was great i am off to see Your album now.
Thanks for showing it to us and great that You came home happy. :)
Thomas he linked to pics in another site then You can have as many links as You want in a postings. If I am wrong I hope I will be corrected. A bonus is that the pics are seen when others reply and then it is easier to comment a picture.
Kind regards
Joakim

The species unknown with the palmate leaves looks like Panax japonicus.

I am glad, that you all liked my photos. I must admit, that I did so many photos remembering about you all. ;D Wile doing them I tried to show how small was the show, but how full of species.
Thomas, Joakim is right. On my Photobucket albums to each photo I have different types of links to use:
Email & IM
Direct Link
HTML Code
IMG Code - which I used here.
There are plusses and minuses of that. I can show as many photos as I want to (without straining the forums server). On the other hand I cannot move my photos in the album. I cannot rename them, because the link will be broken and you see empty page. There is no worry about that. I already put them in right place and I won't do anything with them.
Afloden, I think you are right with the Panax japonicus it looks like the same plant. Nice. :) Could anyone tell what is that Wulfenia? My mistake, that I forgot to photo the label. :/ My cousin liked it and I will try to get it for her, but I must know what it is.

A wonderful tour of this super show. What a superb garden with so many beautiful plants. You did us proud Krzysztof.
-
As a faithful visitor of the Prague mainshow who could not travel this year I want to say you
many thanks for your nice and impressive pictures
-
I must say it. I have finally found the ideal place with kindest people, who has same passion as mine. I hope I will be able in short period of time to share with you with my collection. I got many plants from many members of this forum. I was helped so many times that I cannot count it. I must thank you all. I will try hard to propagate what I have! I want to spread some rare species in cultivation so that the others could grow them and feel their beauty. Like once I felt it also thanks to you.

Krzysztof,
Wonderful pics of beautiful plants. It is Wulfenia orientalis.
I have a picture of it at my website.
