AGS Show in Kent 2014

Excellent.I have that Tulip but it doesn't flower like that. Those Dionysias are superb and something to aim at with mine.If I had to name a favourite though,it would be one of the easier ones,the Soldanella.

this is a great blog thankyou.
adore 'and covert' the Ophrys.

Thanks!

@Pcw
I envy your dionysia - I always fail.....
And I also bought a pot of Soldanella yesterday but purple/blue-ish one, not white.

@Seaburngirl
I liked the Ophrys, too - it just looks like "fly" to me.... ;-)

Lovely blog thanks for showing, love the hepaticas.
That's strange I bought a Soldenella Villosa just a couple of weeks ago too :-)

My S villosa hasn't reappeared yet :o(
I did mulch the area thickly so I will wait a little longer.

Excellent photos such a wonderful interesting blog thank you for sharing.

Thankyou for sharing your lovely photo's.....

Thanks for showing , difficult to favourite will go with the double blue Hepatica not seen it before but the white soldanella has to be close second.

Lovely blog - thanks! Where in Kent do they have this show, by the way?

Thanks for all your comments, boys & girls!

My favourite of the show was definitely Hepatica x media “Millstream Merlin” - it's single flowered, but the colour was amazing and the size of the flowers was quite large. It was really an eye-catcher.

RHS web site doesn't seem to tell us the cultivation of soldanella, so I found it at one of Japanese gardening site - it doesn't like summer heat and wet so move it to shady spots, and needs to be exposed to winter coldness, but it hates strong cold wind. Preferably repot each year and remove dead leaves often.

AGS Kent is held at a girl school in Rainham.

Very interesting variety. I have never seen most of these. I'm so grateful for your blog. Very informative and well done.

Cool!>Bathgate!
