For 5 days in May a world-famous flower show happens in London in the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea. The show starts off the summer season. Since moving to London I wanted to go to the flower show. I was able to go this year. But James could not make it. He had to go back to the States for a dear friends funeral. We planned to go with some friends from Sweden, Lars and Petra, who came for a weekend visit.
Again we chose the busiest day to go to the flower show. The flower exhibits were incredible and the smells of the flowers was overwhelming.
This year the main attraction was a large rose pedal perfume maker that made perfume with the same ingredients that were used for Queen Elizabeth I perfume. The whole area smelled of roses.
The Great Pavilion was where the displays of the best of the best were showcased. I could have stayed all day just in the pavilion. It was a great experience and wonderful to have shared it with friends like Petra and Lars.
