Pictures taken at Kew 1999.
Pictures were taken by Arthur Walker(AW), Dudley Hubbard(DH), Graham and Linda Cossins(GLC), Nik Barrie(NB), and Tony Bird(AB). Thanks for your efforts!

All photographers provided captions. I adapted / extended some of Arthur's and Tony's where extra information was available. Dudley's got lost somewhere in cyberspace so I've done my best. Graham's and Nik's I've left alone. Where the captions don't give enough (or incorrect) information you're welcome to mention it nicely on the list. DS.
