Hello everyone Has anyone grown and or exhibited the new Large Pompons as yet. I have seen a club member (Peter) with them but I am unsure myself. However would be another option for multivase classes. Regards, Paul Can't help you there Paul....I haven't seen the large pompons. Have been thinking about trying some standard poms......perhaps next year. I have enough new varieties for this year  |

They were stored and were fine but then when I checked again they were ruined, in some ways its a good thing as I had ones that I liked but werent really up to showing so at least now they will all be exhibition ones

ok so I am showing ignorance here but what exactly are LARGE pompons? Me thought that poms were limited to 2" (50mm) Oh and Lou, these tubers in the green tray look more like Begonias to me.  |

I'm not surprised what with the winter we've had so far.

I left Ruby in the ground and wondered when I lifted them why I had miscounted. I was delighted to see it as it is a real favourite. It is perfectly alright. Can you believe it?

Me thought that poms were limited to 2" (50mm) Sweetpea, the NDS made a new class for Large Poms last year for the National and Harrogate. The Large Pom, size, less than 83mm but greater than 52mm The growers are now trying to produce new varieties of this now. The pom we all know maximum size is 52mm. |

However would be another option for multivase classes. Regards, Paul Hi Paul, i have not shown any Large Poms. Harrogate last year, Franz kafka won the 5 bloom class for large poms, in the single bloom class, Firswiid Park was 1st At the National in the single bloom class for large poms Firswiid Park was 1st, Chimacum Troy was 2nd. Nulands Josephine did well in the dahlia trials at Leeds, we will see this on the show bench this season. Nulands Josephine  Chimacum Troy  Franz Kafka  |
