Many people have commented that the trade stands at this year's shows have been every bit as good as some of the gardens themselves, and at Tatton I have to agree. Many of the gardens created outside some of the nursery stands were exquisite and beautifully done.
I was particularly impressed with the display outside Brooklands nursery stand, which featured a swathe of perennials in a range of pastel colours. It was just the thing to entice visitors into the stand to buy plants (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it). I try to resist buying things, but I always like to take home something from the flower shows I work at, and in the end I chose a Dierama. I purchased a large plant from the plant societies marquee, which was accompanied by plenty of useful advice from the grower. Hopefully it will do well in a sunny free-draining spot I have in my new garden. I got at lot of attention as I walked back to our tent with it, I don't think I've had so many admiring glances in a long while. If you're ever at a flower show and want to get attract attention, forget waving a coloured umbrella and choose a large Dierama instead.

Crocus - the first flowers of spring 2008
Beautiful rose with sunflower background. In today's flower photo session in Baguio City, I was missing my favorite ornamental peanut plant as natural green background for the beautiful flowers. Hence I experimented with the natural background colors of Burnham park's other flowers in bloom these days.
With many dahlia and sunflowers in bloom - here one of my shots with my new Sony A900 from a beautiful pink rose and a sunflower as background.
