The weather in Philly was perfect for the weekend, warm and sunny. We also watched the St. Patrick's Day Parade between other activities.
Here are some photos of Philly and the flower show.

Philly Flower Show 2013
The theme for the flower show this year was Great Britain. It was very impressive to see the displays from the many presenters at the show. What a lot of work! They brought in bulbs, plants, and trees in full bloom at a time of year that those plants are not typically in bloom. Then there were buildings to be built and rock walls to erect. There were some very impressive displays by high school garden clubs which I found very interesting.

Longwood Gardens
Sam and I visited Longwood Gardens yesterday to view the Orchid Extravaganza. What a show! Thousands of orchid blossoms in bloom, with the air filled with their fragrance. The show was delightful and a great inspiration at this time of the year. It brought some sunshine into a slightly foggy day and time of year. Here are some of the photos I took while there.
