It is quite the done thing to identify trends when visiting Chelsea Flower Show, so I could write a piece about growing more orange flowers or maybe creating a mini-Chatsworth in your back garden. I have already mentioned these in my previous posts so today I am writing about the surprising about of fruit I found.
For example: I was wandering along when I suddenly saw this pair of pears,
and a rather large face almost looking like it was about to kiss them. As ever I ponder about placing them in a landscape, they would need a larger space than I have.
Further along I find apples and pears, yet no Cockney rhyming slang references at all, well it is far from the sound of Bow Bells.
A wicker pear here
A slate apple there
A gourd or two
and then a rather odd statue of two cherubs fighting quite viciously.
I really, really do not like the expression on the lower cherubs face, there was something quite disturbing about it so I moved on swiftly.
I had hardly recovered from this when I found the stone balancing stones which looked a little like they were from the art display in Beetlejiuice, but my eye was caught by this one is particular.....
It is holding a fish isn't it?
