After Colne on the Saturday it was off to Ramsbottom on the Sunday. Tom and I took the best of what we had used on Saturday and one or two more. There was a good local turnout and a fair show was opened to the public in the afternoon. Tom's Kingham got the Best Bloom pipping a large Australian white that Keith Capper had put in.
Keith was not to be outdone and he won the nine class with some very fancy and expensive blooms. Unfortunately there was no opposition.
An unusual Div 11a was benched which I think was called Sunny Girlfriend. It's a Walkers daff so that catalogue should give the right name.
I had brought along my three Xit from Colne and was lucky enough to win that class against quit a few other entries.
Tom had some nice Crowndale which I did well with last year. Still quite dear as a bulb but hard to beat.
Here are those three Xit which won me a massive 60p.
Trena did well and won the 'other than 1-4' class with ease.
Arkle was much in evidence. This daff can be grown to a very large size and took the three Div 1 class.
Honeybourne won one of the single bloom classes but I was not that struck by the colour.
We have had some problems with daffs being misnamed by suppliers this year and this was supposed to be Tideford. It clearly isnt but was good enough to win for Tom. On the small side (in fact it might well be a Div 3 rather than a Div 2) but very neat and clean.
