I’ve added rather a lot of pictures that i took at Tatton Park Flower Show. I had difficulty choosing which to include in this blog.
I just wanted to point out that all of these pictures (Tatton Park) are of displays there (I have not entered anything at this show).
My first show planned is 26th July at Bishops Castle!

It was a brilliant day out. Glad you liked the photo's.
I don't think i'd stand much of a chance at these bigger shows - When thy're a long way off, i like to take the opportunity to go and not worry about displaying. I can walk round and spot the faults (if there are any) especialy on the big nurseries stands. At this show Blackmore & Langdon (the Begonia specialists) had pale green ferns, probably not been fed enough. Marked leaves, probably caught the sun & some leaves with holes in. There were a lot of blooms just edging (starting to go brown on the edges). Makes me feel better when i can see that the experts are not perfect every time. lol.
I've just come back from setting the plant up at Bishops Castle. I would be surprised if i win there, there looked some rally good plants there. But the fun is in the growing and entering, as long as i don't put up rubbish. Of course all my best plants are timed for The Shrewsbury Flower Show in about 3 weeks.
