England is known for it's flower shows....the most famous being the Chelsea show in London. But up in our neck of the woods -- the Southport Flower Show reigns! You pay a pretty pound, but you get a BIG overdose of the most spectacular flowers. The show covers 34 acres and is a bit like a state fair, sans the animals. And it was worth every English Pound £££!

| You can't have an English flower show w/o English Gardens. |
 |
| Wildly beautiful! |
 |
| The Queen's Jubillee in flowers |
 |
| I have never liked gladiolas -- always remind me of funerals -- but these were spectacular! |
 |
| begonias are their specialty |
 |
| If you are overrun with tomatoes -- try this. |
 |
| and of course there are always those whose creative genius surfaces in these moments |
 |
| You rarely see petunias -- not enough sun -- so this petunia tree was a surprise |
 |
| Sunflowers -- on the other hand -- seem to grow w/o sun! |
And this is about as close to summer as it gets around here.
