For Succulent interest in the Botanical Gardens, the cactus bed in the Pavilions (large glasshouse) and the South African bed (in Osborn's field) are both worth seeing, and there are also a few succulents in the Mediterranean Garden. Find them on the map.

We had a very successful show, good weather, plenty of visitors, few sales plants left at the end.
I only have photos of some of the entries:

Few of these left by the close:

Was a great event last year - shame I couldn't make it up from Nottingham this year.

Some cracking plants in the background caught my eye - I'm assuming a cyphostemma and maybe euphorbia bupleurifolia peaking above the sheet of paper?

Correct on both counts, Ian. Cyphostemma juttae. The paper is the sheet with class details.

We took pictures of the Euphorbia bupleurifolia and Cyphostemma juttae fs anyone wants a closer look at them.
