Our final show of the year and more plants benched than I think anyone had dared hope for but there seemed to be that lack of quality that we strive for which has been the theme for this year. The general consensus from the exhibitors and growers is that 2016 will not be noted as a good year for Auriculas but some nice plants all the same to be seen on the day. A sample can be seen below but first the winners and trophy's awarded on the day.
