Philadelphia Flower Show



You could be forgiven for thinking that I only returned to the US this week to take photos of flowers!  Not so, but if it was the case, I saved the biggest until last!



The Philadelphia Flower Show is huge - one of the biggest in the US and certainly the largest on the East Coast.



We visited it last year when the theme was ‘Holland’.  This year it was ‘The Wonder of Water’.  The showpiece garden over the main entrance represented a rainforest with exotic plants and flowers including many varieties of orchids and protea.



Other gardens had water as their centerpiece or demonstrated how gardens could be created using recycled water or very little water at all.













As last year, there were some beautiful flowering bulbs on display - most of these from a grower based in Stanmore, Middlesex.





















More photos to follow!
