Enjoy a look at the dazzling displays at this year's RHS Show Cardiff 2013 with our specially-selected image galleries - sent directly from the showground by our RHS team.
The Garden Editor Chris Young, plantsman Phil Clayton and photographer Jason Ingram have picked out their highlights, from rarely seen plants and local nurseries in the marquee, to the delights of the schools wheelbarrow competition and the show gardens.
See the delightful results of the schools wheelbarrow competition, with local schools like Rhydypenau Primary, St Patrick's Primary, and Coed Glas Primary lighting up their special display area at the show.
Watch out for impressive orchids and delightful spring flowers as well as rare plants exhibited by local and visiting nurseries. Ron Scamp of Quality Daffodils, has a remarkable display of cut flowers, the cool weather intensifying the colours of some of the many different cultivars.
See a wide range of early-flowering clematis. Many will grow in a container as long as the pot is placed in the shade. These clematis mostly have dainty, nodding flowers, good seedheads and will scramble to 3 meters or more, even on a north wall.
See the hustle and bustle of the RHS Flower Show Cardiff 2013; while exhibitors work throughout the day to look after their prize plants visitors enjoy the displays and are able to make a purchase or two for their garden.
