Here are a few Chelsea facts and figures…

Around 500 orchids in full flower occupies the site with around 200 additional foliage plants .

15 sacks of decorative moss and 6 sacks of bark will be needed to hide the flower pots from the judges' discerning eyes!

Our team of three will take 2½ days to stage the display in London at the famous showground in the grounds of the Royal Hospital.

Our plants will then have to withstand 9 days at the show during which around 250,000 visitors will pass by.

Spare a thought for us, our feet are aching after standing for 12 hours each day, let alone our sore throats with all those questions!

All the orchids shown will be for sale and can be reserved at the show for delivery afterwards or can be bought or collected on Friday 28th May when the sell-off begins at 4.30pm. There will be lots of special plants available there so be sure not to miss the opportunity!

After all that it only takes about 4 hours to take down again and pack up and head for home, (usually arriving about 3am!)

It doesn't finish there as there are 2 weeks worth of orders to be packed up and dispatched and any left over plants to be sorted out, the fewer the better
