Spring Bank Holiday Weekend, May 2011,

 

A cold wet weekend judging by what we are wearing

 

 

 

 

Plenty of activity

Here Dave and Alex working on a hawthorn

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A completely new layout this year

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

More work on trees with Keith & Phil

 

 

 

 

 

Some of the exhibits

 

 

 

 

Including suiseki

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and a lovely flowering satsuki azalea

 

although a lot of flowering species were very early this year

and had already finished flowering

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The pine below was not exhibited in its washing up bowl,

this tree was styled by Alex over the weekend

As always we go around the gardens at Dyffryn,

and here is something that Al photographed on his rounds.

I wonder how many people know what tree it is?

 

 

 

 

 

It has to be a fir, and 2 are mentioned with blue cones

Nikko Fir (Abies homolepis)?

Abies delavayi (Delavay's Fir)?
