Lancs and Cheshire Carnation Society Early Show 19th July 2014

We had two shows in one weekend this year, so it was over to Atherton on the Saturday for the Lancs and  Cheshire Society Show where Phil Cross, Barry Gamble and myself put in a few borders to go with the PFs and pinks. Generally, this was not a great show, the weather having made many flowers bloom too early. However, we turned up.

As they often do, Phil and Barrie beat me into third place in all the classes I entered. 

I did have a nice Lord Nuffield

and a Lucy

and some Welton White that I was showing for the first time

.

Phil showed the new Billy Boy bred by Bill Stokes which is a great colour. To the right you can just see Crimson Comet, also from Phil. I had to take most of mine back to the second bud to get some sort of a flower on time, as they had flowered early this year for a change.
