 Begs National Show in Port Talbot.This is where it all started in 1999, with me winning Best in Show as a novice, plus five other trophies.

A 2 year old plant of angel Catford Belle grown as standard for the show bench. These are more of a challenge to grow as a standard than zonals, but as you can see from the one in this photo that it is well worth the effort.

Hi, my name is Ken Abel and I live in Carlton Colville, Suffolk in the UK. I have been growing and showing Pelargoniums nationally since 1999.

PLEASE NOTE I DO NOT SELL PLANTS.
 

All the ideas and tips on my website, relate to how I grow and exhibit show plants. (they work for me) 
Most of the plants you see on this site were grown by me unless stated otherwise.
 

If you like Hostas check out the new album with photos of plants from my collection. 
 

I hope 2022 will see us have a better growing season for our Pelargoniums and for those like me who exhibit their plants good luck on the show bench. 

 

From January 2014, I started writing the  Pelargonium column in the "Garden News".
