22 May 2012 - Chelsea Flower Show Special

The 99th RHS Chelsea Flower Show is currently under way in London and we were fortunate to visit today. Orchids were very much on display particularly in the Grand Pavilion with several dedicated exhibits and growers. The most vibrant displays were from the far east but naturalistic displays were also in evidence from growers such as Jacques Armand.

Here are a selection of photos from our trip.

Firstly a selection of photos from the Thailand display. This was very much an ornamental flower display rather than naturalistic. Whilst it may not be to everyones taste it was still stunning to look at, containing 80,000 blooms!

This was just one stand in the grand pavilion, theres lots more to see over the next few days!
