I'm welcoming the week with photos from Macy's Spring flower show (which opened here in Minneapolis last weekend)... this year's theme is "Towers of Flowers" and boy, were there towers!
The displays were as amazing as ever! One of the "hits" of the show were the
BLUE orchids...
...everyone was going a bit nuts over their vivid BLUE tint (although most didn't realize they were dyed)....
Each "tower" was more breathtaking than the other... this one was a mosaic tower, brimming with bougainvilleas... reminded me of South Florida gardens...
..the trees, shrubs and foliage combinations were stunning as well. Many of the displays had a distinct European or Mediterranean "feel" to them.
But the "piece de resistance" was the Leaning Tower...
I have a few hundred more pics I'd like to share... but will save those for a future post! The lighting was very bright and made it difficult for a rookie like moi to take decent pics...
I'm happy to join Smiling Sally and all her blue-loving friends today!
HAPPY MONDAY!
I love flower shows. We dont get that many near me. I think the leaning tower is so beautiful. I love that spring is here!
