00:00:05.420 --> 00:00:06.540
Hi, kids!

00:00:06.580 --> 00:00:10.180
I'm very nervous and excited
because today

00:00:10.220 --> 00:00:12.940
I'm at the Chelsea Flower Show.

00:00:12.980 --> 00:00:17.780
It's where gardeners from all over
gather to celebrate and find

00:00:17.820 --> 00:00:19.460
the best flowers in the world,

00:00:19.580 --> 00:00:21.660
and I heard a rumour:

00:00:21.700 --> 00:00:24.980
That Her Majesty, the Queen
of England, is coming.

00:00:26.740 --> 00:00:28.660
Oh, my goodness!

00:00:28.700 --> 00:00:31.980
So I brought with me
the best of the best

00:00:32.020 --> 00:00:33.780
of the flowers from my farm.

00:00:33.820 --> 00:00:37.500
I have carnations, which are
very typical in Spain.

00:00:37.540 --> 00:00:41.620
People like to wear them on their
suits or in their head, like this.

00:00:41.860 --> 00:00:45.500
And I have daisies. You can find
them in the countryside.

00:00:45.540 --> 00:00:48.500
I think they're beautiful.
I love them.

00:00:48.820 --> 00:00:50.780
While we wait for the royal visit,

00:00:50.820 --> 00:00:53.460
shall we look around
the Chelsea Flower Show?

00:00:53.500 --> 00:00:54.700
Come with me.

00:00:58.380 --> 00:01:03.100
Look, this is the England flag
and, of course, roses.

00:01:03.140 --> 00:01:06.140
The rose is the national flower
of England,

00:01:06.180 --> 00:01:09.380
but not just any rose,
the Tudor rose.

00:01:09.540 --> 00:01:13.900
There are many different kinds
of roses, pink, red, white.

00:01:14.180 --> 00:01:17.540
People like to give them
as presents to their beloved.

00:01:17.580 --> 00:01:20.140
They are romantic flowers.

00:01:20.460 --> 00:01:22.700
And look at this flag,

00:01:22.740 --> 00:01:27.940
this is Wales, and the national
flower of Wales is the daffodil.

00:01:27.980 --> 00:01:30.860
In spanish we say narciso.

00:01:32.180 --> 00:01:34.260
And this is Scotland.

00:01:34.460 --> 00:01:38.740
The national flower of Scotland
is the thistle.

00:01:38.780 --> 00:01:43.100
It is purple and ¡au!,
it has many spikes.

00:01:43.140 --> 00:01:46.220
In spanish it's called cardo.

00:01:46.620 --> 00:01:50.260
The scottish people are very proud
of their national flower,

00:01:50.300 --> 00:01:53.020
the thistle.
It comes from the Highlands.

00:01:53.260 --> 00:01:58.620
Here we have the national flowers
of England, Wales and Scotland.

00:02:01.820 --> 00:02:04.340
Look at this flag.
It belongs to Ireland.

00:02:04.500 --> 00:02:08.780
Here we have the traditional
shamrock or clover.

00:02:08.820 --> 00:02:10.340
It's not really a flower,

00:02:10.380 --> 00:02:12.940
it's a plant
with very small leaves.

00:02:12.980 --> 00:02:15.020
Normally, there are three leafs,

00:02:15.060 --> 00:02:19.460
but if you ever find one with four
leafs, it's very good luck.

00:02:19.500 --> 00:02:23.220
In Ireland you can find clover
all over the countryside.

00:02:23.700 --> 00:02:27.300
And this flower
comes from Switzerland.

00:02:27.660 --> 00:02:30.300
It's a very small white flower

00:02:30.340 --> 00:02:33.140
that only blooms
on the top of mountains.

00:02:33.180 --> 00:02:35.100
It's called edelweiss.

00:02:35.140 --> 00:02:37.060
It's very difficult to find.

00:02:37.100 --> 00:02:40.780
If you ever go hiking to the Alps,
please look out for it.

00:02:44.300 --> 00:02:47.300
At the Chelsea Flower Show
we've seen flowers

00:02:47.340 --> 00:02:49.700
from many different countries.

00:02:50.060 --> 00:02:51.740
What's this one?

00:02:52.100 --> 00:02:53.900
Let me see.

00:02:53.940 --> 00:02:57.980
This basket of flowers
is from Japan.

00:02:59.460 --> 00:03:04.300
The chrysanthemum is the national
flower in Japan.

00:03:04.340 --> 00:03:06.540
They call it de Imperial flower.

00:03:06.580 --> 00:03:10.580
And in Japan they also
love cherry blossoms.

00:03:10.620 --> 00:03:14.940
Cherry blossoms appear very briefly
between march and april,

00:03:14.980 --> 00:03:18.660
and there are many festivals and
traditions associated with them.

00:03:18.700 --> 00:03:22.140
You can also see
some beautiful rings.

00:03:22.180 --> 00:03:24.460
I think they are gorgeous.

00:03:27.940 --> 00:03:30.860
Did you hear that?
I think it's time.

00:03:30.900 --> 00:03:32.620
I think the Queen is coming.

00:03:32.660 --> 00:03:35.180
I have to get ready, ¡oh!,

00:03:35.220 --> 00:03:38.940
and arrange my flowers.

00:03:39.740 --> 00:03:43.060
I hope you enjoyed the visit
to the Chelsea Flower Show.

00:03:43.100 --> 00:03:45.260
See you next time, boys and girls!
