The Chelsea Flower Show 2011 (Part 4)

By NEILMUIR1
June 21, 2011

This year's Chelsea was a resounding success, both for the visitors and exhibitors alike; a truly captivating array of colour and wonderful horticultural skills, in what are unfavourable economic times. All I saw were smiles and looks of disbelief, as people met old plants they knew, and new plants they had never seen before. So join me on a last trip around Chelsea, before I can put my boots away for a short time.

Hurray! Hurray! Great article Neil.
Thank you for the 4th and last article on The Chelsea Flower Show. You did a great job I tip my hat to you. . I particularly loved the Hilliers stand pictures which were like a fairy tale garden. The little hut with the roses was also my favorite. And there were many other interesting features, some I liked Smiling and some not so much Blinking , for instance the air conditioning, which might be very practical in some very hot places.

Take good care of yourself to prepare for the next big show, and give Sarah a big hug from me.

Best regards,
Magga

Dear Magga, I know you are a Dog lover but Phoenix has been with on the many lonely nights on the computer doing these Articles! Often going out on her hunting expeditions and leaving me a present by the back door! She has been a faithful companion through hours of work. Always sat near me on Guard, and ready for a stroke when things go wrong!
I am bust tomorrow cooking for my three nieces and the rest of the family. No Article until July!
My most Kindest Regards, and put a top on your topless statue. Rolling on the floor laughing

Dear Neil, Yes I am a dog lover, but I am a cat lover too, although I think it would not be practical to have a cat and a dog at the same time Rolling on the floor laughing . I had a cat when the younger set of my children were born. I had to stay at a hospital a few times, and when I returned home my loving cat always greeted me with a cute little mouse. Although I am not very fond of mice Rolling my eyes. I did love the gesture my cat showed me and she a got a few extra strokes for the mice.

Neil this is the 21st century, and my lovely Hebe is free to show what she likes in my garden. :biggrin:

Take care,
Magga

Dear Magga, I joke with you as it is our Humour. You see worse than that walking down our streets everyday and in the Newspapers! We do have a Naked Gardeners day here in the UK. However thank goodness I have a gravel garden and not a lawn, the mind boggles cutting the grass naked! Rolling on the floor laughing
Plus we have the naked bike ride through Hyde park, although that is in November, a bit cold for doing that sort of thing!
Regards.
Neil.

We shall all roll naked in the dew tomorrow night, the night before the 24th June. Here in Iceland it is the day of St. John.
Just looked out and Hebe is already naked Rolling on the floor laughing
