Philadelphia Flower Show #wordlesswednesday

Last week I told you about the Philadelphia Flower Show.  This afternoon, My daughter played hookie from school (1st grade) and we went to the flower show.  I thought it would be a great way to expose her to the beauty, smells, and learn about plants,  so an educational day.  Please be sure  to read the end of the post to see what I purchased at the show.  I think next time I would love to make a night of it with VisitPhilly.com they have a all sorts of great packages and discounts for overnight stays in Philadelphia and the surrounding area.

Here are some of the pictures I took at the show, for more picture I took of the day please check out my Flickr Philadelphia Flower show page.

The wave entrance was really cool my daughter loved seeing the sea life on the screens.

I thought the orchids were so beautiful and they were every where:

I loved the massive entrance water fall and Hawaiian mountain

The Miniatures and the pressed flower pictures were amazing!

Check out this window display- wow just wow

I think these were my favorites- I am a sucker for color:I also got a great picture of my girl!I have to share while I was at the Flower show I bought this lovely “Pooley” bud vase:bud vase
