March 18 – April 16, 2017

Birds, frogs, ducks, bees and other critters awoke from their long winter snoozes for this year's show, in which realistic prop and topiary animals enhanced signature spring blooms including hyacinths, primula and the famous Himalayan blue poppy. From oversized butterfly chrysalids in the Palm Court to a family of ducks swimming in the Victoria Room pond, each corner of the glasshouse came alive with color.
