Wow! Hello hobs! I have just put two and two together and realized I have watched your youtube videos dozens of times. I recognize your house from the video.

Hi Hob

A superb display and really high quality photos as usual - I don't know how you do it! :salute:

Mine are way behind yours in flowering, I didn't water them too early this year because of the extreme variations in the weather.

Are you going to the National Show in August??

Best wishes
Ray

Hello Ray, no I don't think so, I went to the last one so I will probably give this one a miss, are you going?
