Here's a few quick snaps from this show that was held at Birmingham Botanic gardens, great place to wander around.
Order seems to have got mixed up & not very well focused

A few more succulent classes
Bob potter came with this lovely Euphorbia, heavy to carry

fouquieria purpusii has lovely patterned body

The exhibitor of this flowering agave deserved a medal just for getting ti there in one piece

Congratulations Tina and everyone else involved! What a great H. maughanii in the corner of one photo, shame it didn't make it to the centre!

Which euphorbia do you mean
Was it the lovely leafy one at the back.
Or the poisonous one at the front

I've been to the Birmingham Botanic Gardens, definitely recommended. A lovely big cyphostemma ect. In the cactus house
Great show by the way

Finally, after such a long break, an actual show. I'd worried that members might have got out of the habit of showing - it's a hard job smartening up plants for a show and there's quite a bit of work at Birmingham in carrying plants to the show hall from the car park. Luckily everyone made an effort and it was a great day and it's thanks to Fiona - Show Manager(ess) and the rest of Birmingham Branch. Thanks for posting all the photos Tina - there were some cacti there also! Re the flowering Agave, I've always thought that there should be a prize at BCSS Shows for the tallest exhibit, regardless of quality, just based on height. Something like a bottle of wine would do. Nice to have a quick glimpse of your variegated Cubic too.

Agaves, I really loved this utahensis eborispina, stunning & one i don't have 'yet'

Huge Euphorbia, it was too long a journey for me to risk big plants that could get damaged
