      Spent an all too brief 2 hours at the show. Had to go back to work unfortunately.
      It was in both RHS halls with displays of plants, plant sales, books sales, society tables.

        Some real beauties there Sirius.
        Not a plant I'm likely to ever try, but, I do like seeing them. Thank you! :thumbsup:

            I wish I'd known about it sooner!
            Did you buy anything?

            I am a member of the OSGB, so had advance warning.

            Ironically, I bought 2 ferns!

              I fear that I would have been tempted by a Paph or two.

              Was anyone showing Habenaria medusa?

              Don't recall seeing the Habenaria.

              There was a Taiwanese nursery selling some unusual Cypripediums. They only took cash.....which may have been a good thing!
