Ron,  Yes it certainly was.  Not only were the talks top notch, but the atmosphere in the room had us all buzzing.  Its so good to see the start of the new season at last, even if it is cold here today.  If there is any way you can get there another year, its well worth the trip.  Here's my final picture, not sure of the gentleman's name, but he was guarding the important snowdrop all lunch time.  When I found out how much the bulbs were fetching, I was no longer surprised!

I'm a bit late but here are a few more pics

I went out with a friend for some fresh air at lunch time.  The Allan Water which runs through Dunblane was looking quite rough and the water was very brown.

A few more

Tecophilea cyanocrocus
Tecophilea cyanocrocus var. violaceae
Ornithogalum sigmoideum
Crocus biflorus weldenii
Crocus biflorus weldenii 'Fairy' - not sure about this one.  I have one labelled Crocus biflorus weldenii 'Fairy' which looks identical to the one shown as just weldenii
I couldn't read the label on this lovely little blue crocus
