All over Chelsea, almost life-sized floral animals stood proudly in the heat … and wilting a little during an amazing run of very warm weather.We saw … 
Elephants
Rhinos
Baby cubs
Lions and lioness
Oh my!
This one looks like it’s up to no good! 
Giraffes …
They seem popular.
Apes!!!
And a monkey eating bananas!
A pink …
Hippo
Colourful birds of the jungle
And even crocodiles!
Yes, it’s Chelsea in Bloom again – in conjunction with the week of the Chelsea Flower Show!
And a what?!?!?!?!
A Monster?!?!?!
May’s comment: This year’s Chelsea in Bloom (22-27 May) is working in association with the Elephant Family, an international NGO dedicated to protecting the Asian elephant from extinction. “They fund pioneering projects across Asia to reconnect forest fragments, re-establish elephant migratory routes and help create safe homes for both elephants and people.”
Thus all the animals in the streets. But not everyone followed the theme … more later.
