Hampton Court Palace Flower Show (Part 1)

By NEILMUIR1
July 13, 2011

Built in 1514, Hampton Court Palace was home to King Henry VIII and is stunning, as are the gardens. It is now also home to the worlds biggest flower show! Unfortunately the day I went it rained and rained, but bear with me as I go through acres of mud to show you some of the sights!

Neil, what a feast for the soul. Thank you so very much for taking us with you on your wonderful journeys. I think I will have to go back up the article again, to savor the photos one more time.

I can never go there since they sell plants to the public, if I did when I got home I would have to file bankruptcy. Rolling on the floor laughing

But those green chrysanthemums are to die for. Neil are they real or are they artificially colored?

Dear Vi, no they are real! Only real plants are allowed apart from a few on the exhibit displays. If you were caught doing anything untoward the RHS would throw you out, I know from the Chelsea Flowers Show!
Regards.
Neil.
