It's hard to describe the Flower Show. Hard to photograph it, too. The theme was "Movies," and so each display, large and small, had something to do with films. They even had some really cute homages to screen writers! Anyway, here are some pathetic attempts to capture the moment.
This was the sign at the large Peter Pan display. The display was mounted by a grower of orchids. It had a lagoon, all sorts of palms and ferns, and of course -- orchids, cascades of them! Nestled in among the greenery was Peter Pan's hat, Captain Hook's hat, an Indian headdress ... and I am totally sure Tinker Bell was there somewhere, I just couldn't find her.
Obviously I didn't take this one. It is the central display, Cinderella's Wedding. Disney, Inc. lent a glass slipper, which is under a dome on the right side of the photo.
Frozen! This one was appropriate, seeing as how the only reason I was there was because there was a snowstorm that day.
The table top ones are always beautiful.
They're easier to photograph, too!
Patio! Not yours or mine, of course.

Critter made of flowers! Look at his hair!
This was the entrance.
And of course, yours truly, all decked out in her snowstorm apparel!
I never had more fun at the Flower Show. Usually it's so packed with people you can't move. But hardly anyone was there. Only a lunatic would go out in a major winter storm to look at flowers, right?

Clearly the middle of a blizzard is the BEST time to go! I hate crowds too. The flower show looks like it was charming. Cool theme.
Well, there you have one negative about California -- the flower shows are always crowded because it never snows!
Not really never -- I remember snow in San Francisco in about 1959 or 1960. Didn't last long.
so beautiful..great imaginations.
