My sister & I go to Chelsea every year & would have been there next Tuesday. We've seen him a couple of times & I thought he was extremely arrogant. David & Harry Rich & Chris Beardshaw have always got time for people. CB's garden at last year's show was beautiful, we both loved it & said that it was as though he'd designed it for us; we didn't know he was listening & he was really humble when he thanked us.I saw a wee bit of a frosty response by Michael Perry on Twitter to a lady that had posted a question and then asked again as he hadn't answered. Something along the lines of his time is money so free advice comes down the pecking order. He went down a little in my estimation as they openly ask on QVC for questions.

Lovely, Raymond Evison grows stunning plants & always has the most gorgeous displays. It's my adult's version of Christmas morning. My sister's a gardener, went to horticultural college & was part of a team that won a gold medal in the days before it became really commercialised. Having said that it's still an event where we find little treasures amongst all the big & expensive stuff. We go up to town on Monday, do something that afternoon, stay overnight & get to the showground for when the gates open, we never stop talking or laughing & it's so lovely to see the same exhibitors every year. There's going to be a virtual show this year, I'm an RHS member so can see it from Monday; I won't bother because, along with all the other things that are a reminder of my life before these 8 weeks of house arrest, I've put it away in a box. Roll on next year.Ahh love Chelsea used to go with my mum when she was alive we always had a great time and bought the Raymond Evison clematis on the sell off days.
Thats the spirit we can still enjoy our love of plants and flowers in our special outside places!Lovely, Raymond Evison grows stunning plants & always has the most gorgeous displays.

I am glad I am not the only one not have received the pinks. I was going to ring CS but wont bother now that you have an update. I must admit I am beginning to wonder whether I want them or not. I just hope when they arrive that they are in a decent condition.I’m still waiting for my pinks, I rang CS the other day and they said that they had been told by the supplier that they would be dispatched by the 15th May but mine still say “in process”. However I did receive my Lantana the other day and they still said “in process“ after I received them. CS did give me the option to cancel but I said that I would wait for them to be delivered
