RHS Chelsea Flower Show - EYOF display and other slippers - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**forexsoft** · 05-26-2007, 01:31 AM

Hi everyone!
Well, I dragged my boyfriend to Chelsea Flower Show yesterday (main flower show in UK) and had a great day! Took hundreds of pictures so I thought I'd share some with you.

There were some orchid displays there including one from Eric Young Orchid Foundation. We got chatting to their guy there and apparently they only show at Chelsea once every 4 years or so, so we were lucky to catch them this time.

Anyway, here are some (okay, LOTS!) pics. First the Eric Young display - slippers first then some other exhibits. I managed to noted down the names of most plants so you should be able to see them in image properties. It might take a while for all to show up so you might want to go make yourself a cup of tea in the meantime

Paphs

And some more things they had on show.

Boyfriend's favourite was a monster Max tenuifolia 'Saint Hellier'. He now wants to buy one for us too

Ah that is the most amazing display I've seen from a show.......extremely impressive. I was in awe of the phrags and paphs but then the Miltioniopsis came into view and with those you lost me.......just stunning.

Thanks for sharing the experience.
