Story 3
South Africa's floral display has been awarded another gold medal and best inshow at the prestigious Chelsea Flower Show in London.
Team South Africa’s exhibit, titled “Life After Fire”, explored the beauty that emerges in the Cape’s fynbos ecosystem after wildfires sweep through the region.
The display marked South Africa’s 50th year participating in the globally recognised flower show adding yet another gold medal to the country’s growing record at Chelsea.
The garden featured burnt Protea skeletons, charred wood and blackened branches inspired by the fires that affected parts of the Western Cape last year.
More than 20,000 stems of fresh flowers sourced from fynbos farms across the Western Cape were used to bring the exhibit to life.
Among the flowers featured were King Proteas, pine-leaf Proteas, Disa orchids and other indigenous wildflowers.
