I am pleased to share with you some photographs from the
Southport Flower Show which took place on August 16-19, 2012, in Southport (inbetween Blackpool and Liverpool) in the U.K. These were taken by
Kevin Pratt and posted on Twitter - he agreed to let me share them here as well. The award indications are apparently for the amateur category. (These results are online and it's quite interesting that there are categories for Pelargoniums, Orchids, Fuchsias, etc., and the gesneriads fall into the "Plants" category.)
