..that's fantastic.!...thanks so much... I cannot quite see the names on the Hosta's but I've figured out one of the 2 grasses.. the other I'm still studying..lol... gorgeous aren't they...?
..can anyone help me out here please...in the middle photo above, of the ornamental grasses...the one that is sideways but turns the right way up when I click on it...there is a grass at the top just under the large photo or whatever it is... at a glance it reminds one of Stipa gigantea but it isn't that... I think it begins with 'A'..but cannot read it, the second word might begin with 'e... it's got lovely buff coloured spikes of flowers on it...
Yes I can appreciate all the hard work that goes into it. But why ?
I thought Monty looked scruffy in an other sized jacket that appeared to me representative of one been in the boot of the car for a few days prior to wearing.
Chelsea is all about excellence in plant growing, breeding, collecting and developing. The best nurserymen and women show their wares on their own stands as well as supplying plants to the show gardens which are intended to showcase new plants, new materials and new trends.
It's also a showcase for trade stands selling water features, sculptures, furniture, conservatories, greenhouses, garden tools and machinery, gardening clothes and sundries so it's also about British jobs and British goods and the British economy.
It's also a fun day out for people who like plants and there's a wide mix of those from all walks of life and many nations, usually all friendly and chatty.
There's plenty to "get" whether you like the format or not.
I do, however, agree about Monty's eccentric suiting. He should get a proper one if he's to do it again.

Obelixx thank you for this thread I've loved looking at your pictures. Sorry to hear about damage in your garden.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Fabulous photos. Help for Heroes does it for me in these photos. Great to see some of the pavilion content.

What stunning photos obelixx. Thanks for sharing. Really sorry to hear of the damage to your plants and hope you can salvage some of them.
Hi Salino,
I don't know anything about grasses but if I can read the stand number correctly (GPH5?) it is Eversley Nursery's stand according to the catalogue.
Maybe they can help you with the grass...
Sorry to inform you But I Dont get Chelsea !!

Excellent photos. I need inspiration for my garden. I want to change the shape of the lawn and the border contents so your photos really help!
