LONDON (Reuters) - A towering pyramid of color, a lesson in water-conscious beauty, patriotic fervor, Olympic enthusiasm and a host of green-thumbed celebrities kicked off one of the world's most lavish flower shows on Monday.
The display gardens for the 99th Chelsea Flower show burst into full bloom in London on press viewing day, despite one of the driest winters and wettest springs in Britain for decades and a tough economic environment sweeping Europe.
