    I have never heard anyone saying ‘ooh the bracts on your Bougainvillaea are lovely this year’!
    I couldn't help thinking of this and chuckling when I watched one of the Tatton programmes and Carol said almost exactly this!
    That's because Carol knows what she's talking about. tee hee.

    Indeed not!  Only 63 medals available and held for life once awarded for outstanding contributions to horticulture and gardening.   The 63 marks the number of years of Victoria's reign.

    On very rare occasions, it's awarded postumously.

    I don't know if that's over and above the usual 63 holders?
