Philadelphia Flower Show


On Friday we took the drive to the Philadelphia Convention Center to visit the Flower Show.
A very nice event (although it was very, very crowded) and just the thing to welcome Spring.

Details

Glazed turquoise Buddha head statue,  wooden reclining Buddha, brass statue in front of a luscious, inviting  tent....

Artist's View


A peacock made of flowers and feathers, the Artist's point of view... and one of the few things I will stand in line to see: the Bonsai Exhibit.

Main Displays

This little 'crooked shed' was really fun.
And the big lobster made from flowers with red pepper claws.



Lots of the exhibits featured recyled elements- chairs made from bicycles, beer keg table, a black hose trellis.....

Flower Show Favorite


My favorite of all the displays- the PNC Exhibit featuring recycled industrial bits and pieces, filled with plants and road signs, and joined with rusty metals.
