Hampton Court Palace Flower Show 2012 (Part 2)

September 10, 2012

I was thankful for the glorious weather to see the world's biggest Flower Show, since Hampton court is not a nice place to be caught in if it is windy and raining.

Veggies and flowers and animals and garden rooms - oh MY Hurray! Hurray!

Oh this was a fun one.

The flowers of course and I wish I had smell-o-vision on the monitor Green Grin!

Really enjoyed all the consumables and the animals/semps were darling.

I loved that garden room too! Dare I ask how much???

Your photo's are looked at several times. I just can't capture it all the first go around.

Thank you so much Neil - much appreciated!

Wonderful photo's Neil! Love all the flowers, and herbs, and the garden art sure is beautiful! I know it would be so tempting to want one of each! I bet it would take days to see everything? How long is this how open for?

Dear Linda, it is open for a week! I only go for one day as like Chelsea I know my way around. It is a lot of walking in a day, unless you know the shortcuts!

I love it all Neil, but I particularly loved the Gypsy Chicken Coop. I would love to have that in the back yard.
Sure would like to know which sempervivum they used for the lion topiary. It is stunning.
I really feel like I can smell the honey scent of the wax they are using to make the candles. How lovely.
