DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHIC COMPETITION 2008-2009

[Gunilla]

Good morning Cliff,
Thank you very much. You have been most kind. I'm sure now it is a Polygala.
I just heard on the radio that tracks of two Lynx have been found in the south of Sweden. They are beautiful animals and it certainly must be really something to see one live.

Hi Shelagh,
I am sure I can find a lot of slides from Route 22 - but they will need to be scanned.
I suggest it may require a new thread perhaps titled 'Alpine Torture' or something similar. (Explanation to follow! )
See what I can do.
JohnnyD

p.s. Here's one to be going on with.

Many thanks, Gunilla ... glad to be of service. 

Shelagh and JohnnyD,
I would be a little wary about making TOO much of the trials and tribulations of route 22 on this forum ... we have members in New Zealand (and elsewhere, I suspect) who think nothing of ascending near vertical tussock-clad mountains for many hours at a time (in day-glow lycra tights and disintegrating boots) just to reach the start of an exhausting flower hunting expedition!!! 
A brief stroll in the Dollies might seem a little tame?   

[JohnnyD]

Brief stroll!!!!!!!!!!    Just ask Shelagh. (And me come to think of it.)

I think the worst moment was when we were just feeling pleasantly weary and ready for heading downwards, the signs on the fence ahead pointed Left for one route, Right for another and a vertical arrow up and over the top of another big pointy thing for Route 22.  It was a killer cos I crawled into bed just as Brian headed out the door for dinner.  Anyone who knows me knows I never[move]miss a meal.[/b][/move]

CLASS SIX continued ...

[Lesley Cox]

6-10 and 6-2 win for me

[maggiepie]

6-1 and 6-11 for me, but if I could walk home with one of those plants it would be the Clematis Tenuiloba 

[Maggi Young]

I'm voting for 6-2 because it shows the plants well and also gives a good flavour of a show bench.

For stuffing up my jumper and running off with... it's the Physoplexis comosum 6-6 

Clematis tenuiloba is fab too, but my jumper isn't THAT big.....

Maggi, I could fit both of them,  I have baggy jumpers, and would look even haha!!

Good thinking there, Helen..... the makings of a fine criminal mastermind, I think.
I too have baggy jumpers, sadly I am also very baggy so there isn't so much free space as most of it is already me

Maggi, I suspect those little darlings are chained to the wrists of the owners!! ( or maybe a GPS in the pots)
