Mr & Mrs Rella and their daughter Tia...Mr and Mrs Reticulata and their daughter Iris...Not very inspired I'm afraid and probably already done, but the best I can do at the moment. Been snowing here, but very lightly, mostly not stuck:-)

10 Feb, 2012

10 Feb, 2012

10 Feb, 2012

 

Poor Lily has worried all day that there might not be mushroom at the table. Old Ma Honia told her to pulmanaria herself together, she then shed a little tiarella.

10 Feb, 2012

 

OOOhhh, OUCH, Grandmage!

10 Feb, 2012

10 Feb, 2012

 

Brilliant blog stickie I've had a good chuckle at some of the names, still haven't worked out Bampy's yet though.

I've asked about and have a couple names for the ticket office, Dai and his wife Lily have said they will come along with their cousin Ian (he's quite a gent I hear - get it?)

10 Feb, 2012

 

guess what.....Exochorda xmacrantha ... .....

officiated by the Dahlia ...... .. ........

I really must have a nice lie down......

10 Feb, 2012

 

Sheila, I didnt get Bampy's either!! Lol Please explain

10 Feb, 2012

 

you have to start with Miss [or should i say mis] then the initial of the first name and put the surname at the end.

10 Feb, 2012

 

Jacob wants to bring his ladder,as he is a bit concerned about the climbing of Graham Thomas and Ena Harkness..will they get higher by getting entwined ? Or just get high ? maybe Marie Juana shouldn't be invited,..but if there was any impropriety ,Iris could flag them..

10 Feb, 2012

 

come on you lot...a good clue from Sticki..anytime now,Bampy ! :o))

10 Feb, 2012

 

So . . . Mis-de-meaner ?? There was I, trying to think of a plant or a garden bird !!

10 Feb, 2012

 

Well done Sheila..you have won a GoY red rosette ! :o)

10 Feb, 2012

 

Sheila, you're not the only one, I too was looking for a plant:-)
Don't you think we need some worthies like the Bishop of Llandaff, or the Dahlia Lama?
Yes Pam, worked it out and I've pinched a bit of yours lol:-)

11 Feb, 2012

 

They would help to keep things in order,Ba..spoilsport ! Lol.

11 Feb, 2012

 

Perhaps sweet William would come?!

I'm hoping King Edward will arrive in his jacket!?

11 Feb, 2012

 

I hope he brings Charlotte and Nicola..nice girls,and not a bit thick skinned ! :o)

11 Feb, 2012

 

Its funny the way ones mind works, I couldn`t fathom Bampy`s, kept going back to it and came up with "Mr & Mrs Me-an-er" no way could I figure out how to add Dorothy, wrong track completely..

11 Feb, 2012

 

Its like anagrams sometimes the answer pops into your head without conscious though and others never come!

11 Feb, 2012

 

Hurray, put the flags out there,s Iris....

11 Feb, 2012

 

OK Sticki, I have just booked my return flight to the UK for 24th April, so I'll leave it to you and Bampy to take it from there.... (You think I'm joking, don't you?)

11 Feb, 2012

 

Mr Pak Choi, an overseas visitor is delighted to accept your kind invitation.
Still flumuxed over Bampies!! Quite Confucshias really.

11 Feb, 2012

 

i better warn him gattina!!!

Mr Pak Choi you are very welcome!

bampy's guest isnt a flower or a plant at all GM ~ have a look at Sheilabub's last comment.

11 Feb, 2012

 

Gattina - how long are you staying? Will you be able to visit the Malvern Spring Flower Show (May 10 -13)? If so, see you there!!

11 Feb, 2012

 

Oh how I wish I could stay that long, Sheila! Unfortunately will be leaving in the first week in May. Shall be doing a lightning tour of bank, doctor, Specsavers, supermarkets, friends, Boots, Marks and Spencers, relatives and garden centres. Not necessarily in that order. Now if a nice big GoY group could strategically place themselves in Milton Keynes, Manchester or Banbury the weekend of the 27th, I could meet my adoring fans all in one go, and do signed photographs for all of you at the same time as soup and chutney samplings, seed swaps and a right good natter. ;o)))))

11 Feb, 2012

 

Banbury is easiest for me!

11 Feb, 2012

 

I Know, Sticki, I know!

11 Feb, 2012

 

:-))

anyone else manage banbury?

11 Feb, 2012

 

I didn't read all the comments and have been furiously thinking of a plant called banbury.......doh!

12 Feb, 2012

 

sorry pam!!!!!

perhaps i should have put that Mr and Mrs Keynes are attending and bringing their son Milton. ???

12 Feb, 2012

 

I saw the white horse at Banbury, it did make me cross!!

12 Feb, 2012

 

Watchet! everyone you never know who might be coming or Ware they come from!!!

12 Feb, 2012

 

Even I'm groaning now:-)

12 Feb, 2012

 

;-))

12 Feb, 2012

 

Well so many Regal lilies are coming Sticki think you should get the Angels to blow their Trumpets!

12 Feb, 2012

 

thats a good idea PP, most appropriate!!

better not invite the wicked witch known as Hazel with her wand then!

12 Feb, 2012

 

Hazel might arrive on her Broom or worse could bring her Cytisus.

13 Feb, 2012

 

well fancy introducing that on the 100th comment GM!!

13 Feb, 2012

 

Must invite Mr & Mrs Heu Chera think of the food the'll bring .....creme brulee, raspberry ruffles,key lime pie......

13 Feb, 2012

 

Oh yes, we MUST have them, lets hope they will also bring blackberry jam and plum pudding!!

13 Feb, 2012

 

:~) Not forgetting: Chocolate ruffles, Sparkling burgundy, Tiramisu & Peach flambe!

13 Feb, 2012

 

well if they cant come i will be very disappointed!!!

13 Feb, 2012

 

if its a really good party and lasts all night we could be on the Lime Marmalade for breakfast!!

I believe Bacon and Eggs could be there too??
[http://www.fotolibra.com/gallery/367566/pultenea-scabra-bacon-and-egg-plant/]

13 Feb, 2012

 

There will of course be some VIPs [all of us] but there are Lords and Ladies coming too ~ NOT to be eaten!!!

13 Feb, 2012

 

Is there a plant called Alka Seltzer out there......?

13 Feb, 2012

 

The Scarlet Emperor will also be in attendance....he can be eaten(if you can catch him...)

13 Feb, 2012

 

there will need to be i think gattina!!

Red Admiral will come if Scarlet Emperor will be there.

13 Feb, 2012

 

By golly Pam, you opened up a rich vein there. the Cheras also bring the spices like paprika. Has any one mentioned limnanthes douglasii?? far better for you than fried. I'm not very good at this lol:-)

13 Feb, 2012

 

Is there a plant called Alka Seltzer out there......?

13 Feb, 2012

 

Shielabub,
What day are you doing the Malvern show, wouldn`t mind going myself.
Is anyone else going?.

13 Feb, 2012

 

what is the date stroller? i might go

13 Feb, 2012

 

Sticki the show day is Thurs 10th May £31.50 book in advance with booking fee of £1.50,
or Fri, Sat, and Sun £18. and £21. with £1.50 booking fee.
It would be nice if one or two of us could meet up.

13 Feb, 2012

 

Gatt. I have found these herbs that are good for various areas of digestion!
Fennel, Garlic,Dill,Gentian,Mint,Rosemary & Thyme, think they should all be welcome, dont you?

13 Feb, 2012

 

I do like fennel tea, and peppermint.... not sure about garlic tea....

13 Feb, 2012

 

I can't even bear someone in the same room as me eating a peppermint - violent aversion! Ginger, I believe is good for a queasy tum.

13 Feb, 2012

 

saturday or sunday would be best for me stroller

13 Feb, 2012

 

you had to think out-side the box to get that one! well done, it was indeed an intended misdemeanour.
Part of the entertainment at the Goy banquet for the ladies was the world famous Russian striptease artist Iva Vestoff & his beautiful female partner Peeloffabit Moore for the lads. ( but thats a whole other list for another time)
It has been noted that Peeloffabit is also available for light cleaning duties S the Tour just in case our infamous care giver ( remember her? ) has run off with the gardener :-O

14 Feb, 2012

 

If we are now organising the entertainment can we please have, from the very popular heuchera troop, Firechief, I'm hoping in uniform!

14 Feb, 2012

 

They might need 'policemans helmets' for protection and to save blushes.!

14 Feb, 2012

 

well the policemens helmets can come but i prefer the firemen in their clothes.
