I started Monday.
Maria and I took on the Philadelphia Flower Show. Despite the throngs of people, it was very good for my soul. It is so hard to decide what to share here, so here are just a few highlights...
These beautiful orchids
were a part of this much larger magnificent display.

This display was so unique, I couldn't decide how I felt about it. I loved the creativity, but it represented how I've felt about the winter - trapped in the ice!!!
This year's "theme" for the Flower Show is "Passport to the World" and so the plants and landscape of different countries were highlighted.
This was South Africa. A lot of seeds and dried plant material were used in very creative ways...
These are just the masks...

I've yet to inform Keith that we really need all of THIS in our backyard....
I mean, come on... there is even a bed with a waterfall right next to it....
I can't imagine how he could possibly have any problems with this, can you? (Careful, don't ruin my personal Spring.)
Oh, look. Another bed in the yard. Very colorful. Very India.
This may have been one of my favorite parts of the flower show...and it was in the shopping section - it wasn't actually a part of the show. These are David Austin Roses...

Beautiful! I'm not a roses person either. But they are so "elegant". I love violets and daffodils and our state flower, the bluebonnet. Oh yeah... and bouganvilla... because they will always take me back to the tropics, mon!!
