I see the dahlias will be based where the floral arrangements were last year at the other end of the marque.

Whenever I look at the local weather, there is a warning for the expected gales.

Hi DC
All superb photos. Very neat set up there. I'd be particularly interested to hear how you got on with the small decs (Joan Walker and Leopold Chloe, etc), and if you message me via my You Tube channel thingy, that would be appreciated. All the very best.
Regards, Paul

The Barbarry Pip were excellent, refined. When I grow Pip I dunno it looks heavy, almost clumsy (whenever have you heard clumsy in dahlia circles LOL) Regards, Paul

Well done with your Ruskin Michelle DC,

the Kiwi's still take all the beating don't they.

I hope your blooms do not have any damage this week and you get a good cut for Harrogate.
Good luck in what ever classes you exhibit in on the day.
