I am SO disappointed that I didn't find out about this very appealing conference until I had other calls on my time ... it appeared quite recently on the AGS site!

RHS is not great at advertising things, Cliff, it must be said.
Anyway, I worry that  the excitment would be altogether too much for you; all those different buttercups and their relatives on the one day!!  :o
