Narcissus asturiensis. This won the Best in Show award.
There were lots of other plants too. Many many Snowdrops.
Pictures if wanted.

I am a Narcissus lover. Maybe it's because it's a sure sign spring is not too far off. The bottom pic may be the winner, but I absolutely love the 'Narcissus Dinah Rose' It has a nice wispy look to it.

They're all so pretty. My favorite is the iris - at my last house, I planted 100s of them in my garden, and they were so pretty, kind of petite and frilly. They really added a lot of interest in my spring garden.

Your photos are beautiful and such a welcome sight for me. I am so sick of seeing snow and dead trees...lol We don't have a plant show in our area but we do have a huge greenhouse out in the country that features all kinds of plants and flowers. I love going there to photograph them in all seasons

[Trellum]

Gorgeous =D I loved the plant with the blue little flowers! I loved it! I once went to a tulip exhibition, actually not so long ago! I took some pics, but I still need to upload them. I love that kind of shows I had no idea there were so many different tulip varieties.

 

[claudine]

All those flowers are absolutely beautiful and I'd like to grow each one of them My favorite is Narcissus romieuxii ssp. zaianicus. I think it's the funniest plant I've ever seen

 

[Owdboggy]

A Tulip for Trellium then.

Tulipa orthririoides(?)

Tulipa biflora

 

[Jewell]

That double snowdrop is amazing. Thank you for breaking the rules to get the photo? Any more photos to share?

 

[claudine]

Those tulips are lovely!
To be honest, I didn't know that Alpine plants are so beautiful. I'd like to grow them all

Well, just wait until the next Show where I can take pictures. There is one on March 7th, but the lighting in the hall is so weird that no matter how I try I cannot get decent pictures. So if I am allowed to go there is one on March 14th.
