BLEUJEN Florist duo Erica Tippett and Sophie Watton have returned from the 2013 RHS Chelsea Flower Show resplendent with honours.

Owner of the Bude business Erica and her colleague Sophie both qualified for the event having won their respective heats at an event held last year in Fraddon.

The theme for the year's showpiece horticultural event was a never ending circle — inspired by Chelsea's centenary celebrations.
