The 2024 Chelsea Flower Show opened in London recently.
The Royal Horticultural Society hosts the internationally acclaimed show, which attracts thousands of visitors annually.
This year, the Cape Floral Kingdom display won gold, which means South Africans are world champions once more as fynbos shined bright and beautiful.
The South African display also won the 'Best Exhibit in the Great Pavilion' and 'The Best New Design' awards.
The winning botanicals are led by designer Leon Kluge and artist Tristan Woudberg, who wowed the judges and described their display as a 'fynbos explosion'.
