Not being a gardener, going to a flower show for the first time opened up a whole new world. I had no idea that there are societies for lovers of dahlias, national sweet pea societies and on it goes for all kinds of various plants. I do like dahlias (tho not enough to sign up) and the masses of lilies smelled amazing.
It was an enjoyable day out, not one I'd have paid the ticket price of £26 for, tho I can see how it appeals to some. I went as we were singing 3 sets, and as I kept my fleece firmly attached (it was very windy and a bit wet) my pocketed phone counted my steps whereas it doesn't usually track my steps in gigs. So it tells me that I did my most steps ever. Not ideal when I am still assailed by a hideous cold but I will try and rest more these next few days.
Meanwhile here are some miniature trees, over 100 years old. As someone who can kill a plant in a matter of days, I stood in awe at the dedication and attention that will have been required over such a long time period.
