And finally ...
Not everyones favourites but I like the miniature gardens.  This one was as good as any I have seen although restricted to just one genus.  Various dionysias growing in a lump of tufa, I imagine quite similar to their native habitat.

Hi Tony

thanks very much for the pictures of what I missed.  I was gutted that I couldn't get there on Saturday as it was so close to me - next year I shall make sure I keep the day clear.  Great orchids.

And you are correct - that is the best top dressed plant I have ever seen (someone must have too much spare time on their hands!...).

Guy - great hellebore (as always).

cheers

John

Thanks John - Hopefully I'll be back next year.  Despite growing far too many crocus my best show plants are Narcissus and this is their time, hope we can meet up next March.  (I have a date further North in October when you host the autumn show.)

That lump of tufa is terrific. Like a miniature Alp without the downhill plankers.

A wonderful selection Tony. I especially like the Tropaeolum and the monstrous Gladiolus.

If the pictures below seems totally irrelevant to this topic at this time, given that I'm in NZ, just ignore them. They're for David N who will know what they're all about.

Very relevant as I am looking forward to 'Rose Window' flowering again this year.

I remember when we last had P. 'Rose window ' in the forum... you'd just been to Rheims,or somewhere hadn't you, Anthony, and spoke of the rose window in the cathedral ?

In all probability, yes, Notre-Dame... just remembered you'd been to a French cathedral with fabulous stained glass and Rheims sprang to mind!

Looking forward to Dunblane (Stirling) show on Saturday..... with your Group's poorly members you will be needing all the help you can get?

I'll be there, although Lucy is 8 on Friday; I am singing in a concert on Sunday (St John Passion), and James has a parents' meeting at 11.15, after his training on Saturday, at the Stirling County Rugby Club [minis section] to hand out info and kit for their 4 day tour of Monmouthshire the following weekend.

Thanks Maggi. Lucy will be tickled pink when I show her this tomorrow ;D

Today we had 11oC and the first of my cypripediums are bursting through the substrate. Here is Cypripedium 'Sabine' which I bought from rareplants in his seedling sale for £3 some years ago [see old Forum Cypripediums May 2006 for the plant in flower].

Hope you have a lovely day, Lucy!
