the blue muse

The theme of the this year’s Philadelphia Flower Show was Hawaii,
so there were lots of exotic varieties to be seen.
But there were also lots of my old favorites…

And the pressed flower paintings were amazing as always. It’s hard to believe they are made completely from pressed plant material. Unfortunately, I forgot to write down the name of the creator, but this was one of my favorites…

I want one of these in my garden…

And maybe even one of these…

And these, just because they make me smile…

Walking into the show is like falling down Alice’s rabbit-hole, you suddenly find yourself in a whole new world, filled with wondrous places to explore.

It was so nice to see flowers and color and leaves on trees.

And of course, to giggle. My friend and I caught up
on a whole year’s worth of life.

And already, we are looking forward to next year…
