    Just beautiful… I’d have to hire a FLEET of gardeners to keep them alive and well! But it might be worth it!

    Great pictures! I don’t think I’ve ever seen Celosia in a flower show garden.

    Wow! These are gorgeous! I’d love to build some cute window boxes like the ones in those floor displays. So cheery!

    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.

    Nice pictures. It must have been fun to see so many flowers all together… Are those rows of cut roses?

    What a treat! Thanks for sharing … the color, shapes of the green shrubs, conifers, evergreen on standard especially caught my eye.

    I am fighting Mrs IG’s flower urge: those pictures haven’t helped.

    I’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.

    Texwis – the flowers were almost too much, had bloom withdrawl for a few days after the show.

    Alison – 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,
    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.
