Am I a gardening expert? Hell no.
Am I educated in the field of horticulture? Some day soon.
Am I passionate about plants and all things gardening? Read on and you be the judge.
John: Do you have any idea how many people have visited the flower show and then posted their images onto their garden blog sites? Too Many! [180 garden blogs are in my Google Reader!] Do you know how many of these visitors posted really beautiful pictures of plants and flowers? None! That is, none other than you. Until you posted your photos, I couldn't understand why anyone would even want to attend the show. Now I get it. The PFS should thank you for the most favorable publicity posted online.
I see a hint of the tropicals in that window box but nothing as to the extent of the Chicago show. I think it is a bit more realistic to think that tropicals may be a sub category but not major at this point.
So glad I came across you and your blog! AMAZING pictures. I am so in need of color:) THANK YOU! Adding you to my blog roll....I need to keep up on this:)
ok, I am so jealous of all your beautiful plants! I have some heirlooms that were handed down from my mom and grandmother and we do have an orchard and vegetable plot. You are amazing.
Just beautiful... I'd have to hire a FLEET of gardeners to keep them alive and well! But it might be worth it!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! I don't think I've ever seen Celosia in a flower show garden.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images of this flower show.....last post comment...sshhhh, you're not supposed to run out of gardening room.....
ReplyDeleteWow! These are gorgeous! I'd love to build some cute window boxes like the ones in those floor displays. So cheery!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! That looks like an amazing show!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed looking at the pictures, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for taking pics !!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't make it there this year...hope you have more posts.
For some reason always love the window boxes.

Nice pictures. It must have been fun to see so many flowers all together... Are those rows of cut roses?
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat! Thanks for sharing ... the color, shapes of the green shrubs, conifers, evergreen on standard especially caught my eye.
ReplyDeleteSo glad I came across you and your blog! AMAZING pictures. I am so in need of color:)
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU!

I am fighting Mrs IG's flower urge: those pictures haven't helped.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these gorgeous blooms!
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures! It's difficult to choose the most beautiful one. Thanks for sharing them!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh..I can smell them from here. Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a gardener, I'm too busy tracking down baby calves and stepping in cow patties but I enjoy the beautiful flower pictures you have posted.
ReplyDeleteGreat Pics
ReplyDeleteTexwis - the flowers were almost too much, had bloom withdrawl for a few days after the show.
ReplyDeleteAlison - I was immediately drawn to the celosia and didn't know what it was until I read the label.
Darla - you are right, I will never run out of room, EVER.
Kate - I wish I captured more of the window boxes, they were incredibly detailed and different.
Susan - it was a great show and will definitely be back next year.
Rob - thanks for the kind words and stopping by.
Patsi - I do still have some left over photos and will look to post more this week.
Allen - thank you for the compliments! The theme of the show honestly escaped me, I just followed the plants and ignored everything else.
Gatsby - there were quite a few tropicals but I didn't capture many of them.
Masha - yes, those are rows of cut roses, it was even more impressive in person.
Joey - the shrubs caught my eye as well and there was a huge boxwood display I got lost in for a few minutes.
Dawn - thank you for visiting and the kind words!
Idiot - I myself try to not fall too hard for the flower thing but even some times I get sucked in, rather easily I must admit.
Shirley - always a pleasure to share.
Lia - impossible to pick the best, it was almost too much at times.
Melissa - the smell was intoxicating and allowed me to escape for a few hours.
Paula - thank you for reading and stopping by, you'll be a gardener soon ... guarantee!
Southcoast - thanks for reading.
ok,
