The RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2008

New Plants and Flowers Launched at Chelsea 2008

From Ferne Arfin, About.com

The Royal Horticultural Society's Chelsea Flower Show in May is the major event of the British - and international - horticultural year. With hundreds of nurseries, growers and exhibitors showing and the world's best garden designers competing to create award winning show gardens, it is an annual feast for anyone interested in gardens, gardening and landscape design.

It's also a great day out and a wonderful place to take super photographs.

Chelsea is also the time of year when Britain's best nurseries launch their newest hybrids and plants. Here are some of the plants launched at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2008.

And - if you can't make it to Chelsea this year, here are some more pictures from previous shows for you to enjoy:
