Philadelphia Flower Show

2008.03.06
In keeping with the New Orleans jazz theme, colorful flowers draped huge decorative instruments as you entered the show.

Some exhibitors brought in buildings along with the many flowers in their displays.

Ponds and fountains were everywhere.

And entire buildings were erected for the show.

More buildings, all constructed just for an 8 day show.

Some exhibitors took a more whimsical approach to the theme. Here, mice playing various musical instruments form a novel jazz band.

This was Ireland's contribution to the show, and was one of the larger exhibits. I liked the way the gazebo reflected in the pond.


One exhibitor replicated a Louisiana bayou, complete with fisherman and....

...Other friendly natives! ;)

The Philadelphia Flower Show has been open to the public all this week, so I was happy to finally have time to get back and see the final results, after getting a preview last week (see 2/27/08 posting). These are just a few of the amazing exhibits from the show.
