I desperately want to go to the Chelsea flower show but of course with my job I don't get to choose when I can take time off. 2 years ago my husband looked into it for me when I was on maternity leave but it turned out to be less than 2 weeks before Little Mannie was due so not a good plan! I watched the programme on telly tonight and positively drooled over some of the gardens created! <br />I will be with you in spirit and insist that you post about your day! Enjoy every minute!<br />What is that beautiful plant you have with the cream/pink flowers and deep burgundy leaves? Stunning!<br />I want to call the blue flowers scilla but i don't think the leaves are right for that. I then thought of an allium because of the globe shape, but again the leaves are wrong. That's going to bother me now! I will let you know if I find out.<br />All the best to Bella.<br />Becky xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09438191255242185551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364970258186883429.post-20503564785306294722011-05-23T21:04:34.281+01:002011-05-23T21:04:34.281+01:00Such a lovely post, Gill.

Sorry you've had a cold added to the exam support stress, and I hope the Chelsea Flower Show will make you feel loads better! Your own flowers look lovely. and the Diary of a Provincial Lady is one of my own comfort reads too. (Did you know that there's also a book called Provincial Daughter written by E M Delafield's real daughter in a similar style? I read it earlier this year).<br />Hope the week goes well for you.<br />Helen xHelen Philippshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16085327303967055337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364970258186883429.post-34599273656405659852011-05-23T20:56:44.015+01:002011-05-23T20:56:44.015+01:00I love the Chelsea Flower Show, hope you have a wo...I love the Chelsea Flower Show, hope you have a wonderful time.
