Congratulations to Sam Sutherland and his team for a very enjoyable day. A few snaps to start - the winning 3 plant group from Cyril -the Trillium gained the Forrest and Primula Broadwell Milkmaid awards for best primula and best European plant. Certificates of merit went to Bill Robinson's Narcissus bulbocodium and the show secretary's Iris. Two other nice plants were the Bainbridges' Narcissus watieri Abaleish and Jean Wylie's Shortia named for Brian Wilson.

Some snaps of the show - plants and people

Glad you enjoyed the day Stan.... I was hoping your camera was with you!
Some great plants there already....this looks like an excellent beginning to this show in a new venue.
Sam will be happier now it is over - show secretaries always are more rlaxed and relieved when their show is done.... it gives the longest posssible spell of calm before the next one needs to be organised!
-
The show hall looks to have good light.... that's always a plus, isn't it? Makes the photos so much nicer and helps the folks who are there all day to feel less like mole rats. ;) :-X
-
The venue was actually well-appointed: good show hall with reasonable light; roomy catering area; sufficient sales area; and adequate car-parking within close vicinity. Also handy for visiting Culross to explore its Hanseatic charms whilst awaiting results.
There was quality rather than execessive quantity, with bulbous plants and primulas to the fore.
Stan is too modest; he picked up Carnegie Dunfermline Trust Trophy (most wins Section I) and had some splendid plants on show, especially his rhododendrons.
Club President, Liz Mills took the Fife County Trophy for most wins in Section II.
My own favourite was Iris rosenbachiana shown by hard-working show secretary Sam Sutherland.
Well done Sam for puting on a good show; here's to next year!
-
A few more from today's show. Purely to give a flavour and the ones I liked.
-
One more pleione
-
Huge congratulations to Cyril on bagging another medal and to the other folks "winning big"!
Well done, Stan for winning the "overall award" and to Prezz Liz for really getting to grips with her exhibiting career! Hurrah!!
-
Isn't that bulbocodium a stunner? Lovely pics .... thanks for sharing
-
The presidential tulips deserve a post all to themselves.
-
more people among the plants
-
the Inner Wheel ladies from Stirling did a sterling job providing refreshments.
-
the show has a section for photos and artwork. Michael Almond had an entertaining digitally manipulated image of vine weevil. The flower is by Christine Boulby in case the card is not legible.
-
This image suggests that gender equality may not have reached the Kincardine area.
-
Finally a notice advertising the next show in Scotland - though there will of course be the 40th anniversary event over the Border in Hexham on Saturday 31st March.
-
Don't those cakes look yummy Lovely show folks wish I could have been there....
-
Yes the cakes were absolutely yummy. And the Show itself was a great success - thanks to Super Sam Sutherland who worked so hard to save the 'Stirling Show'. Hope you've recovered by now, Sam.
-
Nice bit of alliteration there Liz, and a wonderful pot of Tulips. Well done. :D
I am really looking forward to meeting you in Tabor, along with Maggi, Angie and all the other Forumists who will be there. :-*
-
Looking forward to meeting you, Lesley, and all the other Forumists from far away. Should be a great Conference - just a pity it's over a year away.
-
But we're gearing up anyway.... by the time it comes around we'll be well ready to go.....
-
No, I'm very happy it's over a year away. A few more dollars saved and (maybe) a kg or two lost. ;D
