Yep, congratulations to all.

Seen BE's Neps for 2 days running now. Lets hope we get to see more of them all.

Did see a stand of Sarra's in the background yesterday - and someones 'best side'. Couldn't tell who as for the several seconds they were just facing the other way, bent over - luckily no builder bum.

Here you go.

This is BEs display. These photos don't do it justice - 4 months in the planning, 10 days to build, and a very well deserved 3rd gold that was obtained by a very comfortable margin. All this despite unusually challenging hot and dry conditions

Two items of especial interest were the 'King of Hearts' black truncata, and a mature lowii showing the exudate and explaining the recent discovery of the tree shrew mutualism - both got a lot of interest from the public and media.

You may also have seen the coverage from the new 'Bill Bailey' hybrid ventricosa x singalana

A few more photos to add ... The BE stand was looking stunning, and it was great to say hello to Rob and Diana.
