I rather liked this Biarum

Why is it that that cute pot of Biarum is making me think of a Pet Shop? ::) :D

Many thanks, David.

We had a great show and a great day though !!
Wonderful plants to see and ... to buy ! :D

Lovely to see a number of fellow forumists once again !
Thanks to David H. we were also able to get our regular "fix" of J.I. compost !

So all in all a very succesful and pleasant day ! :D

The bad news is... there's five months to go before the next hop.. :'(

Irritating problem with the camera batteries .....Ian has a similar problem with his phone battery which is reluctant to take and hold a charge. :-\

You know this is one of my main objectives in life Maggi ! ;)
I somehow must try and fit it into the agenda... as long as I'm a working man though, this is not always as easy as I would like it to be.. :(
But rest assured, you will be the first to know if it works out ! :D

Post by: Maggi Young on September 28, 2009, 08:18:00 PM: How nice to see such a grand display of cyclamen...... they are all looking very happy in their pots, aren't they? I bet there were some strained backs after carrying that lot to the benches!

Thanks, David!
