Over to you Diane....

Too tired,  :'(   
   sorry, my pictures will have to wait until tomorrow.

Looks like a busy day was had by all.... did you manage out for lunch? ???

Only the non-locals managed lunch out as the East Lancastrians were all too busy.

Hi Mark,
Brian and Shelagh's geranium had the mouthwateringly long title of......wait for it......

Geranium linearilobum ssp. transversale forma laciniata ARJA-9656

Still a pretty little thing.....

JUDGES CAPTION COMPETITION

 I think Lionel is saying 'There's a twenty pound note under this pot' and Ivor's reply 'Yes but there's only one and there's three of us!!!'

Ah! Such sweet memories. Now if only they had alpine shows over here. Mind you, you'd have to be up early to exhibit ;D
Congratulations to Carol and her team for all their hard work. And well done Shelagh & Brian......great day out for you both judging from the red stickers etc.
Thoroughly enjoyed the photos but it really made me homesick....the thought of those bacon butties!!!!!!
Great to see all the old faces....and some new ones at Bacup. Couldn't help but notice Clair beavering away....no doubt John was cracking his jokes somewhere.
We think of you all probably a lot more than we write but you are never far from our thoughts. And if you're ever in our neck of the woods.......hey, we'd love to have you stay with us.
Missing you all

Some poor forum members MAY assume (from the way that your posting is worded) that the unfortunate sullen figure in the background is Dave Charlton.....I would not be surprised if he sued!!!   :)

Androsace (Douglasia) idahoensis x laevigata  shown by Lionel Clarkson

I think this is a wonderful plant and I make no apologies for having photographed it previously - is it the same plant Lionel or have you got several? if it's the same, it has lasted remarkedly well.

Hardly surprising that Dave Charlton would be looking glum if he's got to cart that huge pot home again.... I hope he knows a good physio  ::) That is one big pot of pulsatilla... very pretty. Perhaps the other chap is just jealous?
Super primulas... all in good order, like Lindum moonlight, stems stand up well, don't they?  .... love your close up of the P. aureata, Diane. 8)
Lionel's  Douglasia ( I'm sticking with this name in support of Sandys' plea!) is gorgeous. :)
