A century-strong floral tradition has graced London’s Chelsea neighborhood once again. 

The Chelsea Flower Show has been held annually since 1913.

Sprawling across the ground of the Royal Hospital Chelsea, it is the Royal Horticultural Society’s (RHS) most prestigious event of the calendar year. 

Queen Elizabeth II inaugurated the 2016 show on May 23. Many of the exhibits mark the Queen’s 90th birthday, which was April 21, 2016, as the BBC noted.

Open to the public from May 24 to 28, 17 different gardens can be strolled through and admired.

Below are photos of the magnificent and creative displays at the 103rd RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
