PHS Philadelphia Flower Show - 2017 - "Holland-Flowering The World"
Once again the Philadelphia Flower Show did not disappoint visitors to it's annual show. The theme, "Holland--Flowering the World" was spectacular--so much more than the expected tulip! As you entered you were greated with a large bridge covered in baskets of flowers, as well as, bicycles adorned with flowers. Bicycles were a theme throughout the exhibition hall.
To be seen were the expected landscape designs, educational exhibits, display gardens, floral designs, plant societies, the design gallery and the exhibition display. There was a "butterflies live room," a garden spa, a "make & take" world market, design studio and a wine & spirits tasting area. And, last but not least, we can't forget the "Marketplace Vendors" who filled over 1,200 booths.
Following is a collage of pictures taken at the show. The first set was taken by Candee Logan and Jim Zeigler took the second and third sets. (Click a pic to enlarge it.)
