Lily growers HW Hyde & Sons scoop ninth Chelsea gold

Lily growers from Ruscombe have scooped their ninth straight gold medal at this year's Chelsea Flower Show.

HW Hyde & Sons nursery received the gold medal on Monday.

Former popstar Lily Cooper also visited the flower show this week and saw a lily named in her honour.

The 'Lily Allen Popstar' flower was exhibited by the Ruscombe nursery in a series of brightly coloured sections which featured Martagon and Oriental hybrid lilies.

Sarah Hyde, who runs the Ruscombe nursery with her sister Liz and brother Richard, said: "Everyone loves the Chelsea Flower Show for its colour and its flowers."
