I've noticed that at Tatton "everyone" sells Sidalcea 'Elsie Heugh'.
It'd be nice for there to be a bit more variety. OTOH, they seem to be
able to sell it readily; one sees enough people walking around with bags
containing pots of 'Elsie Heugh'.

I could not agree more Tatton was bloody awful. Only a couple of decent show gardens, miserable food, poor organisation re car parks... We'll never go again.
