THE Royal Horticultural Society will be showing its support for Armed Forces Day on Saturday with a floral tribute at RHS Garden Rosemoor.
The Torrington gardens will join three other RHS gardens in re-creating the Armed Forces Day Union Jack in a special bed for visitors to see.
The design is based on the traditional colours of the Union Jack using a number of plants including Ajuga "Chocolate Chip"; Senecio serpens; Alternanthera leh "H- Bright Red"; Helichysum ambiguum "Korma"; and Sempervivum tectrorum "Rubin".
Chris Bailes, RHS Garden Rosemoor curator, said: "We look forward to welcoming visitors to the garden to see the flag and hope it will inspire them in their own planting design."

The display will be on show until the end of July. The garden is open every day from 10am to 6pm.
