Philadelphia Flower Show

This was the first year that I've ever been to the Philadelphia Flower Show and I got to go with my friend, Ann.  

This is the oldest flower show in the country--  It started in 1829 !

I can't believe that I've never made it until now!

The theme this year was "Brilliant Britain"...(it seemed an appropriate theme since I've been so Downton Abbey obsessed as of late)...


yellow flowers in a yellow submarine...






interesting cuttings in vessels...




Espalier tree...oh my!


We were thinking of Susan here...




 interesting way to grow herbs...




I've been obsessing with miniature gardens!..


imagine this for a wedding!...


 window box inspiration...


what dog (or girl) wouldn't want to live in this succulent covered house?!...



We left with lots of inspiration and a strong desire for the planting season to begin...
This trip will definitely become a yearly tradition!
