This is big in England: Britain's Chelsea Flower Show.

By Paul Majendie

LONDON (Reuters Life!) - A topless model poses in the foliage, environmentalists plead for the water vole, yoga enthusiasts balance on tip-toe amid the plants.

Media day at Britain's Chelsea Flower Show can be a truly surreal experience when former Beatle Ringo Starr rubs shoulders with Britain's national sailing team and "Weakest Link" TV presenter Anne Robinson launches a garden for Alzheimer sufferers.

The world's most famous flower show is bedecked for the day in some very unlikely finery -- TV soap stars, interior designers and even donkeys, chickens and a Shetland pony are on display. No gimmick is too outrageous.
