His display has also won the New Design Award for exhibits in Chelsea's Great Pavilion.
For decades now, Raymond Evison's sumptuous displays of Guernsey clematis at Chelsea – virtually all of them gold medal winners – have quietly flown the Guernsey flag in the world's most famous flower show.
This year, however, there is really no mistaking where the display comes from.
What is described as a 'Contemporary Sea Shore' scene, featuring forty different varieties of clematis and more than two thousand plants, are all arranged to appear as if they're floating on waves.
They are on a sea-bed base made of golden sand and Guernsey beach pebbles, brought over especially from the island, and silver mackerel cutouts dangle in between the profusions of blooms.
