Second part to the flower show! This was the display area. During the rest of the year, this is an ice rink for the college. It gets transformed in a few days for the show and I’m amazed each year at what they do in such a short time.

The theme was vintage this year and the first installation was Monet’s garden:

My sister went to France a few years ago and actually was in the real thing there 😀

Complete with posed garden by the famous painting:

Another designer worked in driftwood or bent wood:

He had a whole surrounding gazebo type structure around this, but it was too hard to get a picture with all the peeps.

Succulents called String of Pearls.

Or peas 😀

A very cool garden shed:

And I need to find an old water pump to recreate this fountain:

Another really nice gazebo:

The sand sculpture artist was there and did his own take on vintage:

It makes me a little sad that this gets taken down so fast after all that work.

The hyacinths smelled so good. They were all over in pockets and really fragrant.

One of several waterfall features:

Again, the transformation of the ice rink is amazing.

Who wouldn’t want to have dinner here?

This was one of my favorite things with the abundance of flowers:

I cannot wait for plants to start blooming around here! Our snow is mostly melted and some of the bulb greenery is poking out of the ground finally.

Always a good time at the show and much needed after a cold and snowy winter. I’ll finish with another of my favorite displays – the donut bouquet!

I’ll take two please!!
