Chelsea Flower Show. Part Two

As promised some more Chelsea pictures, first a few from the same stand, Plant Belles, that I showed you last week. Seriously thinking of painting my shed this colour and planting lots of orange flowers around it.








These next ones are from my favourite Artisan's Garden. The Topiarist Garden at West Green House designed by Marylyn Abbot.
Any garden that has topiary, white flowers and delightful still life details is sure to win my heart.





That's all for this week, I'm still working through all my pictures so I'll share a few more next week...unless you would prefer to go back to Friday Flowers?

Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

Chelsea Flower Show

My favourite picture so far taken on Press Day (Monday) at The Chelsea Flower Show. I think you know me well enough by now that I find beauty in the detail, and although all the big gardens are being mobbed by photographers and camera crews I often find my favourite things amongst the trade stands and smaller Artisan Gardens.







































This was taken on a trade stand which sold plant and cloche supports and slate labels called Plant Belles. Credit where credit's due I just turned up and photographed it, all the hard work and beautiful display and use of colour had already been done,though I was very lucky with the light and my new 105mm macro lens which gives the most wonderful blur in the background might have helped!!

The 4.00am starts have taken their toll and I'm now feeling rather tired to say the least and have hundreds more pictures to go through. Suffice it to say that I had a wonderful time and the weather was just about perfect. Believe me you don't hear photographers say that very often. I'll share lots more pictures next week.

This weekend is a long one here in the UK we have a Bank Holiday on Monday so I can get my body clock back to something like normal, and I have a photography play date on Sunday with my sister Liz. Herb pots and lifestyle shots are on the agenda......can't wait.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend

Friday Flowers

A couple of pictures I took at the photography workshop at Whichford Pottery three weeks ago....how times flies.







































The last of the Hellebores, and Ivy with a glimpse of a friendly lion wall plaque in the background.







































I've been on tenterhooks for weeks, waiting to see if I was going to get a Press pass for Chelsea Flower Show. I heard on Tuesday and the answer was yes!!!! I won't be going on the Sunday this year so will miss all the last minute set up, but I'll be there from 5.30am on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I can't wait and I'll share some pictures over the next couple of weeks.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend
