The local paper there or the committee would like this one. How lovely to have the brass band there.

Has anybody grown Clearview Arlene, it's a medium semi cactus, pink with a yellow/cream centre. I've ordered it from Ridgeview nurseries along with Cream Capella. Hoping to get some advice

Grown Clearview Arlene but wasn't that fussed

but just because that was my experience doesn't mean that that it will be the same for you. Clearview Louise wasn't fab either but Scrumpy's shown his and done well. You could be lucky.

I would have ditched Louise until I saw the 2nd flush. Now I have to work on getting that 2nd flush first if you see what I mean.

The problem for me is that I don't have a massive garden or an allotment and my garden has to be a one where the children can run about and ride their bikes etc. I don't have a lot of space and if something isn't really up to scratch compared to others then, it is probably a good idea to drop it and try something else. Let us know when you've cracked it, might grow it if you do.

They are a bit different because they are displays and not exhibits. I wonder how they did the smoke thing in the Bromeliad display. Very good pics.
