A Big Finish for the 2009 SE Flower Show

Happy Gardening!
February 2nd, 2009


I have to admit, I'm both glad and sorry to see the 2009 Southeastern Flower Show come to a close. The flowers were gorgeous, I enjoyed the speakers and demos, and the exhibits gave me lots of good ideas for things like saving rainwater and conserving energy, so I'm sorry to see it end. But I'm happy to have a break from my role as the show's "Master Blogger," so I can spend some time in my own garden. It's supposed to warm up into the 60s here today in Atlanta, and everybody is feeilng spring fever.

And I'm also glad that the flower show will be back, bigger and better than ever, in 2010, and when the dates are announced, I'll let you know. It usually opens in late January.

For now, here are some pictures from the show. I loved the "dress" made out of ornamental cabbages for the "flower and fashion" category (you can see them around the neckline):



Here's a beautiful 'Stargazer' lily:



I'll post more pix in the next few days. Check back!
