Phil that is what I call a result, the Iris was perfection on the day.
the Anemonellas did you proud as well another year and they will be even more mature ready to move up a class.
love the Ramonda mine is just opening in a trough but never going to put on that sort of show.
what is the pink flower behind Narcissus Obesus nice colour my best guess is Oxalis.
love the Aquilegia as well.

the Anemonellas were in the intermediate,so probably another year or two before they can move up to open.
One more 1st,I have 9 now and I will have to move all my entries into intermediate or open.At least I know I have one plant that can compete in the open classes.
I've tried enlarging that picture,but can't make out the name,except that it doesn't look like Oxalis.If I see it on another forum,I'll let you know

Thanks sbg.The 2 that I really wanted to accidentally fall in my bag are ungrowable here in the South East.
I'd probably go for the large blue Iris on the other page
