Slender aster

Looking back over the week I think the show has been another great success.

During my more 'sane' moments this week, these are some of the things which gave me most pleasure, in addition to the floral marquee. I particularly admired the flower beds - especially Noah's Ark and the Stoke on Trent to Patagonia bed.

The Visionary Gardens, although not my personal favourites were very much a talking point. I think the category could potentially be extended - even if it is a bit 'Emperor's New Clothes'.

samyoud_writing.jpgA real highlight for me has been the introduction of the Fruit and Vegetable section, which inspired a great deal of interest among adults and children alike. I hope this section returns and extends next year!

By the way, this is where you could often find me this week, writing my blog in the shelter for rain or sunshine in the Tatton Tent!'

So as 4pm and the great sell off approaches, it's 'hold on to your plants', watch out for walking hanging baskets and here we go for next year!

Flowers



Some call it lotus - others water lily - its beautiful anyway and that only matters. True beauty needs neither name nor address. True love also needs no name nor address. An amazing water lily closing its blossom as soon as the sun is getting hot. These days as early as about 1000 local time the purple water lily bl ossoms start to close until next day.
Hence to make purple lotus flower photos you need to get up early morning ... and you will get leeches almost guaranteed when standing an hour or more in deep water to make such lily photos ! Enjoy.
