Dark and rainy outside, the promise of spring indoors.  Paperwhite Narcissi flowering on my window sill, releasing a heady perfume.  From dormant bulbs to green shoots and blooms in only 3 weeks

A day gathering plants, ideas and advice at RHS Hampton Court Flower Show
Naturalistic planting in the show garden "Bridge Over Troubled Water"
Spires of Eremerus in "Summer in the Garden" by Arun Landscapes
...more in the Floral Marquee
Clouds of gypsophilia, from the conceptual garden "Light at the End of the Tunnel"
An impressive display by pupils of Writhlington School Orchid Project who garden in their break times and after school!
Air plants again...
The National Dahlia Collection had a beautiful display and offered helpful advice.
Lovely to see Nicole again from The White Orchid with trailing garlands of roses
Rose "Duchess of Cornwall"
 
Tired and happy...plants travelling home by train.
