Saturday 6th April saw the Colne Spring Show taking place. The season has been a particularly difficult one and many of us struggled to get decent entries on the bench. At Colne there were just four exhibitors in the daffodils: Andrew Clarke, Tom Alty, Alan Greenwood and myself. Tom and Alan had the bulk of the flowers. Andrew just put a few in and I only had miniatures and division 6.
It is frustrating when you are the only one in a class. Here's my 1 2 3 in the three miniatures with Xit and two vases of Sabrosa. Nothing spectacular.
In the big class for three vases of three it was between Alan and Tom with Tom coming out on top.
Alan's nine included Manly (D4) and Broomhill which he grew Bigger than I ever could.
Tom did it again in the six from the registered list but you can tell what a poor year it is from the fact that he used two division 4s and an 11a in his exhibit which is unusual but was necessary on the day.
Alan again was second to Tom.
I think this was Corky's Song but I could be wrong.
Alan scored with these two Strines in the single bloom Div 2.
In the div 3 it was Merlin for Alan beating Tom's Dateline.
Here is Tom's Kingham beating Bravoure and Pink Silk.
Andrew had some nice flowers and this Rapture and trena beat my Itzim into third.
Let us hope that next year is kinder and we can get some decent flowers in abundance to show to the public.
Best in Show was Andrew's Rapture, while Tom got an award for his nine flowers.
