A Brilliant! Flower Show

This past weekend I took my annual trip to the Philadelphia Flower Show.  This was my third year going and it seems to just get better and better.  The theme was London so everything had a bit of British flair....
From the 'Buckingham Palace' gates.....


           ...... and scenes that seemed straight out of Camelot.....


....to flower markets reminiscent of Covent Garden.....


....crowns of flowers....


....even a Mad Tea Party with Alice!


From vintage and romantic.....


....to modern and fresh....


....and everything in between, there was a rainbow of color everywhere you looked!




The perfect way to chase away the winter greys and get ready for Spring!  

And the main highlight... BIG BEN!  
On the strike of each hour we were treated to a rocking video filled with FABulous British music by the likes of the Stones!, Led Zep, and the Beatles to name just a few.


....oh, and the Queen made an appearance too! HA!


What a fantastic job by PHS, the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, and the vendors who create these amazing displays.  The imagination is boundless and the inspiration extraordinary.  If you are able to get to this year's show running through March 10th, I say go, go go!!  You will be in for a jolly good time, I can guarantee it!

Enjoy your week and weekend!  I expect to finally have some stitch-y updates to share after the weekend!  

Wishing you miles of smiles!  xxxx

Beautiful!! I really enjoyed your photos. I've never seen a flower show quite like this. It was a wonderful pick-me-up on a dull, gray morning!
