It's that time of the year: the Chelsea flower show, one of the most beautiful displays of flowers in the world.
The British are known for their gardens, which is all to say, since their weather is not so clement.
All eyes of course will be on the Queen, when she arrives, as always to celebrate the event.
It is also a place where potentates and the ultra rich gather. It's almost a place where financial bigwigs gather as an aside, like a golf match, to seek opportunities.
It's an event known more for the people who trek here from all over the world, than the flowers it exhibits.
But such hobnobbing should not dissuade people from enjoying the spectacle or admiring the incredible work or botanists and amateurs who construct the beautiful fantasies in the Flower Show.
