I garden in Philadelphia and have the opportunity to visit our flower show every year. I sometimes take it for granted but the show is sweet solace for us garden starved, hard core types itching to get into the garden in early March. My favorite area is the one given over to spectacular home grown plants. Aisle upon aisle of incredible forced bulbs, orchids , succulents and perennials. I can easily slip into a plant gazing trance half way through those displays. All praises to the local nurseries who create theme gardens with gorgeously crafted structures, paths, plantings and water features, you name it….it can be overwhelming and this year was one of the best! The live jazz band and 2nd line parades were a nice touch!

Holy Moly indeed. Can’t wait to see more pictures and to see what you bought.

Wow… most wedding dresses pale in comparison to the Flora Woman. She’s great!

Yeah, what an idea!

Perhaps one day I’ll make it to the big show in Philly – It’s a long way from my garden to there (in more ways than one.) So I have to make do with pictures like yours. Thankew!

BTW the book Mrs Mcgregor was trying to think of is James Dodson’s “Beautiful Madness.” It was a good read on a cold January evening.

Love those pictures! Thanks for taking them for us all to share. You sound like a busy, busy bee. I like the prisoner program idea. I just think of how their lives might have been different had they had the beautiful and fulfilling hobby of gardening and the tranquility of nature in their lives in “pre-prisoner” days. I would think the murder rate would go down considerably if people had this to sublimate their criminal urges!

Looks pretty amazing, Robin. Can’t wait to see the rest of your pictures.

P.S. Have you seen the movie “Greenfingers?” A fun British film about gardening (starring Helen Mirren)….Mr. Johnson even stayed awake for the entire film, so I know it was good!

What a wonderful show that must be. How long were you there? It’ll be fun to see more of your photos.
