After all the delights of the countryside, there was a manic (though brief) interlude of city frenzy, that incorporated a visit to the Hampton Court Flower Show…..just because it happened to be on and I’d never been before. I missed Chelsea this year, so out of curiosity thought I’d pop my nose in for a quick squizz. You know I can’t resist a flower display and there were some fabulous ones in the big tent. Anyone for a Begonia?
Or pinks? This Dianthus collection smelled just like the inside of a Roger & Gallet box of carnation soap – heaven!
What about all these Alliums standing to attention….displayed with military precision.
Unlike this rather marvellous, feathery display of Eremurus, the foxtail lily….I noticed them everywhere on this visit and have often wondered if I should experiment with them. and if so, where? Hmmmm….
And of course the Pelargonium display! You didn’t think that one would escape a mention….did you?????
