Oh, Neil I love the carnivorous plants. Love the pitcher plants everything is beautiful.
I believe I liked this one the best of all 3. Thank you, It is always a good show to see when we have you taking the pictures...
Hugs and nuzzles
Charleen and Charley.

do the pitcher plants etc keep the flies down for the spectators?

Dear Charleen, I bet if I turned up at your house I would end up in the nutcracker. You are all so kind to me, I do not know what to say!
I have to take a lot of pictures to please most people, as not everyone likes pitcher plants! It was lovely to put on your very rare American wild Orchids, I think we may have more than you!
If you want any pictures for your carnivorous plant cubit, you have my full permission to take them off and use then as you so wish!
I cannot be fairer than that. No Copyright just an acknowledgement will do!
My dream is to get to America and cook you something, scones would be nice as Charley would like hem as well.

Neil.

Dear Lucy, they do keep the flies down for the spectators! They also eat the midges of the River Thames, and years ago a rat was silly enough to go in one as it came up from the river. Goodbye rat!
I have two in my garden as they eat wasps and I hate wasps. they eat hundreds of the things. No wonder they are so big!
Regards.
Neil.

Thank you, Neil, another very nice article.
You know i love the slipper orchids!!

Dear Sharon, I adore them too! This year was exceptional for them at Chelsea, and I have still have pictures of carpets of the Kentucky Ladys Slipper Orchid!
To see and get a picture of the Californian one was a treat for me, although most people did not take any notice of it as they did not know what it was!
I wish you were there with me, I think you really would have had a really great time this year!
The Ladies hats were wonderful as well, and some of hem had orchids on them!
Regards.
Neil.

Wow! Thanks for telling me!
Hugs to my favorite cat, too.

Neil you are welcome to put them in my carnivorous plants , I would love to have them there.
Thank you.

Every picture is more breathtaking than the one before it. Just beautiful! I'm surprised you were able to get such a clear picture with people stomping on you - glad you didn't get hurt. I love the carnivorous plants too, and I sure wish I could grow them. Thanks for continuing with your Show articles. What a treat!

Dear Chris, so glad you enjoyed it! I hope to go to Hampton Court Palace Flower Show. This is the biggest in the world, oh what fun.
Look out and see if I get there! Or come back in one piece!
Regards.
Neil.

Neil! You are one lucky dude! Love those Nepenthes, so fascinating! I think I would have stood there all day. Thanks for the great photos!

Dear Terri, you call get walked on lucky?
Have you seen Part 1 & 2, and soon there will be Part 4.

Regards from England.

Terri, Neil is a great photograph Maker. Great pictures...

Neil, finally got a chance to read part 3. I have to keep going back to look at the photos. I have to say that my favorite is the amazing tall orange primrose. What is it called? It took my breath away.

Wonderful Neil! It's funny how a beautiful picture of your favorite plant can make everything seem right with the world. Thank you for the beautiful photography.

Dear Sherri, I am so glad you enjoyed it! Every plant lightens my day up, just another wonder to look at and enjoy. From the sight of Daffodils in the spring to the wonders of an Acer shedding its bark in the cold of the winter, that is joy.
I leave you with my Australian Bottle Brush plant flowering in my garden in England, is this not beautiful? The Bees think so!
Regards.
Neil.

Neil Beautiful! Little buds of Joy!

oooohhhh wow over the top nice!!!

Dear Allison, some people get excited about Chelsea as it is a Legend! I have won a Silver, Silver Gilt and a Gold Medal from Chelsea, so it is special to me!
Not as special as researching and restoring a Gertrude Jekyll garden, which is a highlight to me.
Regards.
Neil.

def. something to shout out on the rooftops!!
