No wonder annew needs more minions. She does a power of work. Her talk was fascinating. I wonder if cutting up an onion will ever be the same again. Congratulations to all those who worked so hard to make this day a great success. Here are some of the plants which impressed me.

So, you all enjoyed the show
If I lived in Scotland, I'd visit the show, interact with the members and listen to the Anne's lecture. Dunblane isn’t close to my place. Thank you for sharing the photos. I can feel the special atmosphere at the show

A great day in Dunblane, with some great plants for sale and some great exhibits. Had to snap a few pics of the flowers on display.
The room was filled with the combined scent of Crocus and Galanthus.
I love the variation in this pot of
C. biflorus alexandri
and the intensity of
C. cvijicii
. A pot of
C. dalmaticus
Petrovac also looked good.
I'm no galanthophile, but they were a sight to behold. The demur 'Barbara's Double' caught my eye, as did 'Sophie North' towering over her.

Narcissus
'Don Stead' showing his typically (to my mind) squashed flowers - a very attractive plant.
As was
Ranunculus calandrinoides
- a good reason to make another trip to Morocco!
It was good to meet so many nice folk who share a passion for bulbs.
The good news is that I did not come home with anything that wasn't on my shopping list - although the lack of impulse purchases probably has more to do with how extensive the wish list is rather than my restraint!

With luck we may be seeing Matt in the segment on the Show when the Beechgrove Garden TV programme features the Dunblane Day - he can be seen being interviewed in one of Sandy Leven's pictures in his Early Bulb Day show report :

The presenter or the producer, Anne?
I would never have thought to hear Carole Baxter described so
Don't tell me you're being turned into a TV star against your will?

Sneaky, I agree! I was just having a nice chat with Ian B when they appeared out of nowhere. Very sneaky. Hopefully I'll be edited out!

I didn't realise it was her when she asked me about the daffs and I was away.... Hope I don't make the cut either!

I do not doubt that the subtle approach by the programme makers will have resulted in some good relaxed comments for the TV segment!
The Beechgrove Garden programme returns at 7:30pm on Thursday 3rd April on BBC2 Scotland and on Sunday 6th April on BBC2 network. No word of programme content yet. I'll contact Carole Baxter to ask if she has any definite news of Dunblane footage.
Carole got right back to me :
".........All fine and looking forward to another series of Beechgrove. The feature from SRGC from Dunblane
(I really enjoyed my day!) will go out on the first programme
Thursday 3rd April 7.30pm BBC2 Scotland
and repeated Sunday 6th April BBC2 network, time to be confirmed. "

The Beechgrove Garden programme with the SRGC Dunblane segment will be shown at 8:30am on Sunday 6th April for BBC 2 network.
I presume the future programmes will have the same Sunday morning repeat time , too.
Edit - time was changed to 8am - blasted BBC!

I too, hope I end up on the cutting room floor. What was I thinking of because I could easily have declined to sign the consent form afterwards. However, if it means the nurseryman I was talking to gets some publicity out of it then it will do him no harm.

I was looking at a computer magazine in Sainsburys yesterday while Cindy was doing the shopping....it's the only thing that will get me into a supermarket without protest !
There was an article in it on how to get BBC iPlayer outwith the UK by some jiggery pokery. Of course, I did not take a note of the magazines name as I did not need the info. It was something like computer web and cost £2.00
The sites below may help as it can be done if you are interested enough.

A reminder that the filming with Carole Baxter at the SRGC Dunblane early bulb day should be featured this evening in the first programme of the new series of the Beechgrove Garden - BBC2 (Scotland) at 7.30 pm.
The Radio Times says :
"Carole reports from Dunblane on the Scottish Rock Garden Club's early bulb display....... "
For those without Sky to watch tonight in other UK regions, the programme will be repeated on BBC2 - network, throughout the UK on Sunday morning 6th April at
8.00 am
