'Crystal Fountain' - it's my second attempt though as the first turned out to be a sport!<br /><br />I hope you can come on over to Chelsea some day - perhaps we need a Spring Fling there! I do hope it goes well and I'll be thinking of you and all the fun you'll be having.VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-11848619398402784962009-05-29T10:21:44.022+01:002009-05-29T10:21:44.022+01:00Thanks for the mini tour.

I hope you like Clematis 'Crystal Fountain' as much as I do.

Jools and Sean are so enthusiastic about Heucheras, I'm not surprised it rubbed off on you a little. As for Jekka McVicar, she sent Borage home apparently! But wasn't her final stand at Chelsea just fantabulosa? :)VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-91669416106836121962009-05-23T21:07:25.935+01:002009-05-23T21:07:25.935+01:00Lovely photos.

Also I fell in love with podyphillum (or whatever it is) 'Spottie Dottie' at Malvern, great plant, great name! I saw Jane Perrone had mentioned it somewhere too. Well done on the Beardshaw front - I only saw him in the great distance up on the filming platform!Arabella Sockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10936438011119860497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-42606976194049118552009-05-23T10:19:21.471+01:002009-05-23T10:19:21.471+01:00Zoe - so glad I've helped to close the gap a bit. ...Zoe - so glad I've helped to close the gap a bit. It was your posts from last year which inspired me to go this year.<br /><br />Hermes - you flatter me :) I think sometimes a still image does more than a moving one and of course you have longer to really take things in<br /><br />HM - Favourite garden's on its way!<br /><br />Frances - weren't those veggies fantastic! Yes there was lots of colour, especially in the Great Pavilion and I think you'd have loved the scent too. I'm tempted by the Eremurus - but I've a feeling I've looked into them before and found they're not really suited to my soil. I must look again as they're real floral fireworks aren't they?!<br /><br />PG - I thought of you herding me past their stand at Malvern! I think you'd love Chelsea too.<br /><br />Joy - I'm still there - in my head at least :)VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-64757563863874761092009-05-22T23:01:15.185+01:002009-05-22T23:01:15.185+01:00Hi there VP !

The wheel of fortune Jersey veggies were delightful, and the lavender display amazing. How much more color it was inside. That is what I have always thought Chelsea was like, color everywhere, and flowers. Not so much the trees and shrubs of the outdoor exhibits. I crave the Eremurus, but have not been able to get it going here although Christopher of Outside Clyde in North Carolina, not that far from here can grow it.<br />FrancesFranceshttp://fairegarden.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-84026533969773173272009-05-22T20:21:33.598+01:002009-05-22T20:21:33.598+01:00Wonderful photos again, VP.

The opportunity to loose myself amongst all the beautiful plants in the Floral Pavilion. <br /><br />Lots of wonderful picture though, so I don't feel quite so bereft now.Zoƫhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09838367166662822058noreply@blogger.com
