There were a lot of young children at the Boston Flower Show, some clutching a parent’s hand, and some being wheeled about in stroller splendor. It might not always have been exciting, but the youngsters and their parents enjoyed this jungle garden with a grassy lion . . .
a giraffe made of flowers . . . .
and a really scary crocodile right at the edge of the exhibit. No one wanted to touch – and a good thing too.
The Boston Flower Show is back! There were flowers everywhere, in all kinds of arrangements and gardens.
There was also a lot of water – a pond like this one with a stone ‘lily pad’ that appeared to float on the water. The pond was surrounded by azaleas, conifers and bulbs. I may have to do a whole posting about water in fountains and streams.
There were flower arrangements like this simple vase of brilliant tulips for a table setting.
as well as any number of big bouquets of mixed flowers and foliage,
and single color arrangements like this bouquet of white roses, snapdragons, stocks and chrysanthemums.
There were cakes made entirely of dried flowers, including hydrangea blossoms, dusty miller and roses, but for those who want a real cake for a really special occasion
there were real cakes created by any number of skilled bakers.
Looking at all these flowers was inspiring and there were flowers for sale
inside the Flower Show . . . .
just outside the Flower Show doors . . . .
at South Station and at any one of a thousand street corners.
