"Colwell" Miniature zonal pelargonium |
Hybridised by Brian West and introduced through Denmead
Nursery, “Colwell “is a miniature zonal pelargonium. The semi-double flowers are a dark peach
colour and the leaves are green. This
is a cross between Peggy West and Little Alice.
I went to The RHS Hampton Court flower show on Sunday
with my friend, Marie. We had a wonderful
day. It is a really huge show and we think we saw pretty much all of it. Yes, we did buy some plants – even though
Marie was quite definite that she would not!
Sadly I did not get any pelargoniums.
Fibrex Nursery had had a very
good week and did not have anything I wanted.
Here are some of the photo’s I took – enjoy!

Not very scary Scarecrows |

We loved this chap in the Floral Exhibits marquee |
|
Marie is wondering if anyone will notice if she swaps her red shoes for these on the display |
|
This won the Gold Medal - the entire dress was made of flowers |
|
We were not sure if we would want this skeleton sitting in our garden - or even the chimpanzees |
|
I'm not sure my husband would cut the grass if our lawn was like this |
|
Ready - Aim - Flower |
|
We wondered what these people were looking at |
|
This is what - all done with mirrors |
|
There was a fire pit in the middle of this display |
Another peep show
|
Looking at the maize - not sure I would want either of these in my garden, although the second one with the ferns instead of the maize would be OK |
|
I wonder if I can get my husband to build one of these for our wheelie bins |

I thought these were 'neat'. They are the topiary shapes you can buy in the garden centre - filled with moss and then these succulents grown in it. They make a good alternative to the usual box plants. |
Now I look forward to next year's Hampton Court Flower Show.
