AGS Southport Show : Lancashire : 16th May 2009
« on: May 16, 2009, 07:42:01 PM »
Heartiest congratulations to George Young (Veteran vet) on his well-earned first Farrer Medal success with his beautiful delphinium that has attracted such attention at other AGS and SRGC shows over the past few weeks.
Another magnificent show at Southport and many congratulations to Roger Beecham and his wonderful team for staging such a pleasant and welcoming event.
The event was further enhanced by a splendid exhibition of images captured in Pakistan by Peter Cordall.
Further images to follow when time and tide allow.

I'll jump in here while Cliff is getting his beauty sleep  ;D 
I dare say he'll be up and posting the rest of his pictures at the crack of dawn tomorrow.  8)

Super show at Southport today, lots of fantastic plants on the bench.  Thanks to Roger and all the Southport team for all the hard work

Southport show has been associated with Physoplexis as show secretary Roger has won the Farrer medal a couple of times with his fantastic potful in previous years.  Roger's plant was not staged this year (not ready, I believe) but we had a couple of other pots to drool over
