There were some interesting items on display on the OGY (Oberon Gardener of the Year) table too, despite it being winter.
Margaret Jones had a wonderful big pot of small cyclamen. Nancy Brown brought some hydrangeas that had turned to russet and burgundy tones for the winter, and Julie Huey presented the most wonderful display of home-grown chillies of all shapes and sizes and degrees of hotness.
Melanie Lawson, a new member, brought along a mystery piece of conifer, which remained a mystery despite our best efforts. We encourage more members to bring something along each meeting.
You never know what treasures you will find if you only look, and after all the votes are tallied at the end of the year, you never know who will win.
