Gold at Chelsea for chrysanthemum solar system

Zentoo and Deliflor have worked together to supply the flowers for the Chrysanthemum installation at RHS Chelsea. John Peace from the National Chrysanthemum Society used their mums to build a Solar System.



National Chrysanthemum Society: “The Solar System is the inspiration for the Society’s floral exhibit this year. Drawing on a vibrant array of chrysanthemums the exhibit seeks to explore the vast variety of planetary objects in our Solar System.

The exhibit revolves around a central golden display of yellow chrysanthemums representing the Sun itself. Then using the hues and colour combinations of over 25 cultivars, a selection of planets and moons are depicted around this central piece.”

The RHS clearly liked this idea, because it was awarded a Golden medal for the fifth time in a row.

Here's a list of every flower and the planet/moon they depict:
  • Grand Orange – Callisto
  • Haydar Yellow – Phobos
  • Haydar – Deimos
  • Baltica + Code Green – Earth
  • Talitha – Oberon
  • Baltica Salmon – Uranus
  • Grand Cherry – Mars
  • Bontempi – Moon
  • Bartoli & Baltica Yellow – Sun
  • Vanilla Sorbet – Jupiter
  • Grand Pink – Ganymede
  • Cocoon – Venus
  • Softone – Mercury
  • Baltazar – Neptune
  • Romance + Stresa Purple – Saturn
  • Grand Salmon – Lo
  • Radost White – Mimas
  • Copa – Europe
  • Anastasia Dark Green – Titan
