Many people have commented that the trade stands at this year's shows have been every bit as good as some of the gardens themselves, and at Tatton I have to agree. Many of the gardens created outside some of the nursery stands were exquisite and beautifully done.
I was particularly impressed with the display outside Brooklands nursery stand, which featured a swathe of perennials in a range of pastel colours. It was just the thing to entice visitors into the stand to buy plants (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it). I try to resist buying things, but I always like to take home something from the flower shows I work at, and in the end I chose a Dierama. I purchased a large plant from the plant societies marquee, which was accompanied by plenty of useful advice from the grower. Hopefully it will do well in a sunny free-draining spot I have in my new garden. I got at lot of attention as I walked back to our tent with it, I don't think I've had so many admiring glances in a long while. If you're ever at a flower show and want to get attract attention, forget waving a coloured umbrella and choose a large Dierama instead.

Purple lotus love it dirty ... hence the lotus leaves always are dirty. While the purple lotus is much larger as the smaller white and blue lotus shown in earlier pictures, the purple lotus always love it dirty and thus are difficult to make beautiful pictures with all the much and dirt on the leaves. Nevertheless focusing on the beauty of the blossom all else vanishes. Just as looking at a dirty but hard working man or woman - all dirt disappears in the heart of a true lover.
Hard working lotus - converting dirt and pollution into something useful for mankind and creation are like hard working humans. Hard work as an expression of true love!
