The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) event, the Chelsea Flower Show, dates back to 1912 and is held in the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea, London. It's attended by members of the royal family and tickets are pretty expensive- last year I checked prices, and the the cheapest ticket I found available over the five days was £47.
But Chelsea in Bloom is an event which runs concurrently. It's a colourful mirage around Sloane Square station, seeping off into King's Road and other nearby streets. It's where businesses in the area decorate their premises with floral displays, and it's free to attend. I just had to pop along with my trusty camera. Last year- novice that I was- I only managed a photo montage- this year I actually managed some filming!
There were three large installations which really caught my eye: a giant red lipstick; a giant handbag; and a killer red floral shoe. Being a shoe fetishist I would like the latter- I own shoes just like that, but decorated with red sequins, not flowers!
I have to say, this show didn't enthral as much as last year's Floral Feasts. Then, you had the Lady and the Tramp eating their romantic spaghetti dinner and Winnie-the-Pooh and friends. I also found
out afterwards that I missed their floral tribute to punk, and I
thought I'd done my research thoroughly- bah! But it was still a fun
morning, and I also checked out neighbouring Belgravia in Bloom, so
do come and take a look.
If you like your information in word form then I blogged about it in 2024 as well:-
