Humongous flowers on brazen display in Anstey village hall!!!

Well, I've never seen the 'titans penis' I mentioned in a previous post or the stinky rafflesia, so maybe my knowledge of giant blooms is somewhat limited, but when I popped in to Anstey jubilee hall earlier today, I was racking my brains trying to think if I'd ever seen bigger flowers. It was the annual Leicestershire Chrysanthemum show and the beautiful blooms on display truly were huge. This guy was there; and his flowers were bigger than my head. And I've got quite a big head.


The whole hall was packed with incredible flowers. Some of my pics:

There were also 3 huge carrots. They were all about a meter long. Huge.
