Southport Branch Show

Perhaps not the biggest show, but there are some interesting plants on these tables

Unfortunately I was using a simple point & shoot camera and despite selecting macro mode it decided not to focus on the grafted lophophora alberto-vojtech

I think that plant has the same parentage as the one shown on page 97 of the latest journal ie one of Southfield's hybrids.

What could be the top left plant at Class 45?

I can't see a label on the original photo, my guess would be something like Avonia alstonii

Anttun, I wondered that too!

Don't remind me of those hats, my mother got one for me in screaming pink, which I never wore cos I would have been a laughing stock... I just dried my waist length hair under the hand drier every swimming class and she never knew it never got worn!

There are some beauties in Tray 45. :grin:
