I split these pics up because there were so many.
There were ferns
more Fuchsias
Daylilies from the folks who had my huge collection a couple of years ago
Ibiza Mirage
Zero Dark Thirty
Acers from the nursery next door to me
some “man eaters”
Lastly the Alpines
It was very hot and so many people there. The show gardens I can see on TV but the trade stands have some interesting things. I bought some more “drippas” to put in my pots and baskets to combat this hot weather we’re having.
For some reason Zero Dark Thirty didn’t upload so this is it. A beauty!

Your day lilies found a good home. Their new owners are looking after their plants well.

The Alpines are interesting. I find they are unaffected by the heat. I planted them in a Crevice Garden, putting them in the narrow space between rocks for the roots to grow onto the rocks down below. This has meant they have kept cool and moist. Recommend.

Thanks Siris. They did look good I must admit.
It was a good day Linda235 but very hot.
Yes Hywel, although he did say that some are still in pots. They have the British National Collection of modern daylilies.
Sounds good Dianebulley although keeping anything cool the last few weeks has been a nightmare, here at least. Today reached 32 degrees and everything was flagging by lunchtime.

We all need to think more carefully about how we plant anything in future. The deeper the better. Surface rocks
to keep the moisture in. I always did keep those large pebble type stones on the surface of my Clematis.
Torn up cardboard egg boxes mixed into all compost.
Need more now.
