All three are stunning, but the chrysanth takes my breath away.
The floral marquee was my favourite part of the show this year, which I was not expecting. I found myself drawn in and lingering. It’s such a great time of the year for cut flowers.
I agree – that chrysanthemum is anazing.
The starry form is interesting – I’d have loved to go back at the end of the week to see what it looked like fully open.
The white lisianthus, roses, and orchids make a gorgeous bridal bouquet. I know, because our youngest daughter carried one 🙂
That must have been lovely. I’m glad to have brought back happy memories!
I wonder how many whites there are in Nature’s palette. Or, for that matter, how many whites in that first photo. So elegant! Of course I especially admire that tight little bud. But, oh, that peachy-pink! What a show that must be!
It is one of my favourites.
I once heard that there are more shades of black than any other colour. That may not be true, but it opened my eyes to something about colour I’d not thought about before. We rarely see absolutes of anything – black and white included.
Well said! I wonder if we ever see an absolute.
I suppose it would be naughty to say I’m absolutely sure we don’t?
Groan.
Sigh. Glorious.
It was quite a challenge posting just three shots, but I wanted this to be a quick reminder that the show was on.
So beautiful
Thanks, Leanne.
What fabulous photos. Thank you for posting them. I love flower shows but usually take pictures of the attendees who are sometimes as interesting as the flowers.
