Every once in a while, I get a really great opportunity thanks to where I work. Last week was one of those weeks. A group of us were invited by a senior partner to attend the Philadelphia Flower Show, which is one of the city's biggest events. I didn't know what to expect when I agreed to attend but I am more than glad that I did. It was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Unfortunately, we saw most of the really interesting exhibits near the beginning of our personal tour when I was too shy to drag out my camera, but by the time we got to the first place display, I could hold back no longer. Isn't this the most incredible floral display you've ever seen (I apologize for the quality of the pictures--the light in the convention center was terrible).
The Flower Show had a Paris theme this year, so the above display was of a Paris salon from back in the day. There was also an Eiffel tower.
Not all of the displays were as ornate as the one above, but they were all beautiful (again, most of the truly impressive ones I did not get pictures of).
They have special competitions as part of the show. Here were the front porch entrants:
They also did shop windows. This was my favorite:
If you ever have the opportunity to attend the Philadelphia Flower Show, definitely go. Its amazing!
