Title: Chelsea Flower Show
Post by: bijou on May 20, 2009, 01:07:10 PM

I took a day off yesterday to visit the Chelsea Flower show (http://www.rhs.org.uk/whatson/shows/chelsea2009/index.asp)
I have been snowed under with work so it was nice to just relax and look at the plants and enjoy the atmosphere. Here are some pictures.

Great photographs from an old English tradition, the Chelsea Flower Show.

You didn't by any chance notice any marigolds there, bijou, did you?

I was afraid that this was going to be about Chelsea Clinton's "flower", much like Britney Spears and Paris Hilton have put theirs on display.   :rotf:

Actually I did. There were quite a few  plots/stands that included vegetables. Marigolds are popular as a way of keeping greenfly and blackfly away from vegetable plants.

Pretty flowers.  Glad you took the time to go see them.  :)
