FLOWER SHOW PART 4 -- THE END

Here's the last of the Flower Show pictures.  Now you have all been to Paris with me.

 There was a Paris street scene.  This is the bakery.

The artist's studio and shop.

The perfume shop

 This beautiful cake was made by Buddy Valstro from TLC's show "Cake Boss."  Notice the Eiffel Tower on the top and the figures of a painting of the Mona Lisa, Notre Dame and the Arc d'Triumph.

 There were four beautiful window boxes.

There was bonsai.

 The Arc d'Triumph.

Palms

Another beautiful garden.

At the end of the exhibit there were lots of vendors.  Joe bought me a caladium plant.  I didn't take a photo of it, but it's beautiful.  My grandmother had one that she called "Elephant Ears."

I got some flowers.  Joe wanted Irish Bells, so I bought him some.

And got a bunch of mixed roses for myself.

I hope we can go again next year.  I hear the theme for 2012 is Hawaii.  That should be beautiful!

SAVE OUR WHOOPIE PIES!

I saw this on the Pa Dutch blog and had to post it.  Had to laugh too.  Let's save our whoopies.

P.S.  Not sure if this is serious or not, but my family that lives in Maine had better watch out!

FLOWER SHOW PART 3

Here's some more of my Flower Show pictures.  I hope you are enjoying them.

 This is the guy who did our wedding flowers.  He was there and we got a chance to talk to him.  He remembered us and gave me a big hug.

 His theme was "An American in Paris" and each of his scenes had a tape running with a portion of the movie.  The flowers are coordinated to the movie clip.

This was so incredible.  The tree trunks were made of metal and the leaves were actual leaves.  The fountains were so cool.

 A beautiful iris garden with a French painting of irises (of course).

Larkspur (I think)

This was a cool exhibit.

 A bike of the Tour de France.

 The bike was pulling a cart full of French items.

We loved these beautiful lilies.

I love this picture of the red and white lilies.  I want to have it blown up and framed.

A cold frame on the side of a French cottage.

The cottage garden.

 Another view of the garden.

 The back of the French cottage.

The end of the pictures coming up tomorrow.
