This past week was the 2009 Chelsea Flower Show in London, and as you can likely tell from the above photo, I attended.
Sponsored by the Royal Horticultural Society, and begun way back in 1862, the show is described as a garden show held annualy on five consecutive days in May by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) on the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea in Chelsea, London. It's the most famous such show in the UK, and perhaps the most famous gardening event in the world. It's also considered part of London's summer social season (though I do not purport to be a participant in any "social season").
I can't remember whose display this was in the photo, nor do I recall what the names of the contents were, but I thought the photo turned out pretty lovely. It was taken inside The Grand Pavilion. I thought it a bit ironic that one of my favorite shots from a giant flower show was actually of non-budding plants.
For that reason, and for the beautiful colors it contains, this is my "Pic Of The Week."
