2012 Boston Flower & Garden Show

2012 Boston Flower & Garden Show 012

Yesterday Pam and I spent the afternoon walking (well, with a week until my due date I was admittedly waddling) around the Boston Flower & Garden Show.

As always, there were impressive displays.  Most kept it seasonal and didn’t force out-of-season plants to bloom in time for installation.  Newly-leafed trees, flowering branches and bulbs abounded.

There were also impressive details like this planted chandelier.  Bird’s Nest Ferns were tucked into an iron showstopper, then surrounded with a ring of pillar candles.

Vibrant accents and outdoor seating exemplified this year’s theme:

First Impressions - Adding WOW Factor to Outdoor Spaces

Helleborus

The ever-popular Hellebores was EVERYWHERE.

Florists took on the challenge of creating high fashion headpieces for a special display.  Impressive, especially when you consider that these pieces need to weather 5 days under the hot tradeshow lights.

Curb your spring fever and visit the show at the Seaport World Trade Center
