We went to the 176th Annual Show, Wakefield and North of England Tulip Society on 14 May 2011 and were not disappointed.

A full show report will be made once we've had a chance to sort out pictures.

However, here's a picture of a winning tulip, 'Judy Baker' bred (so I believe) and shown by John Wainwright.
