A few weeks ago we were lucky enough to have Grandma Leslie visit for a few days. While she was here, we went to the amazing Philadelphia Flower Show. I have never seen such beautiful and incredible flower arrangements and displays in my life. We were there for about four hours, but could have easily spent two days enjoying the festivities. There were exhibits, booths, shops, presentations, classes, and food. It was so cool. The theme for this year was Passport to the World and the major exhibits included Brazil, India, Africa, and Asia. Here are some pictures from our fun adventure.
Everything in the exhibits were constructed using flowers, twigs, seeds, etc. Aside from the feathers and legs, this peacock is made entirely from flowers.
One of the exhibits was a bamboo forest that you could walk through with a flashlight - this was Isaac's favorite exhibit.
This was a display inside a metal container (the kind used to transport goods from seaport to seaport).
This is outside another container. This one was covered in graffiti and orchids. The colors were amazing.
This giraffe is from the Africa exhibit. It is made of stick and orange orchids (suspended with copper wire).
This is one of my favorites. All kinds of flowers each in a vase suspended at different levels.
This is also from the Africa exhibit. These are statues decorated with various dried flowers and grasses.
Here's a Meili pose.
This is Philly's Chinatown - located right next to the Convention Center.
