Philly Flower Show Purchases


There was an incredible amount of stuff to buy at the Flower Show. I refrained from buying the duck rocks with the metal necks and feet, as well as the copper pots and watering cans, the hanging soil-less plant containers, the jewelry, specialty foods, and plants of all sorts. I did succumb to some purchases.

A peony for the perennial garden.

Some very important labels for the vegetable garden and other places. We stopped in two other vendors before we found these. The others were sold out.

I got two hummingbird feeders. (Emily, do you want one of them?)

And these were an impulse purchase for the edge of the glen. They are flowering ferns. I hope they weren't a sucker purchase. No labels came with them. I'll have to look them up on the internet.

Philadelphia Flower Show 2011 "Springtime in Paris"

This was my first trip ever to a Flower Show. I had no idea what to expect. It was lovely!

Here are some of my favorite photos. The rest are on my picture share site: Birds, Blooms & Books.


Notice the rain chain on the left is made from a bicycle chain.






When I first looked at this tree I thought is was growing on trellis. It is the trellis.

I definitely will go next year. The theme will be Hawaii.
