Chelsea Flower Show 2014

Super photos, Margaret - did you have a good day? ( it looks like you did!)

[Tim Ingram]

Really lovely photos Margaret.

[Peter Maguire]

Such wonderful photos - far better than anything I've seen this week on the BBC. It's so so nice to see plants rather than celebrities.

[Arum]

Thanks so much Margaret - that was so enjoyable.

Wonderful photos Margaret, with the focus where it should be - on the plants.  Thank you.

Quote of the week from the BBC coverage: Flower arranging Traffic Marshall "I'm on a diet - actually I'm on two diets because you don't get enough to eat on one".

[Margaret]

Wow, thanks for the kind comments folks.  I had a great day. Found out a few more things I didn't know  - like arisaemas don't tolerate winter wet which explains why mine hasn't appeared. It was a bit challenging getting two large bags of plants home on the tube and a crowded bus but worth the effort.

Don't give up on your arisaemas, Margaret, - my A. candidissimum does not appear above the ground until mid June.  I too thought I had lost it until I discovered its tardy habit.

Thanks, Maureen, for the hopeful information.  I'll be careful where I put my feet for a week or two.
