I think you can get just as tired looking round places as if you're doing a proper walk. What do you think?<br />Nothing to compare with these beautiful flowers. We have the Chelsea Flower Show over here, which is very similar.<br />Thank you for showing us. I really enjoyed looking and sharing your experience.Stella Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699491230987143490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-89857366240185453002012-02-13T08:44:54.811-08:002012-02-13T08:44:54.811-08:00I think this would be a PERFECT solution to the wi...I think this would be a PERFECT solution to the winter doldrums...for at least.<br /><br /> Gorgeous pictures...Akanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00513632434353119491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-44638470323238806142012-02-13T07:25:13.151-08:002012-02-13T07:25:13.151-08:00What a beautiful show!

It's great that you have bus services for these things, as driving into the city and finding parking is always a tribulation. To walk around and not have to drive home, but just relax, would be a great way to go.<br /><br />Beautiful pictures.

Our Philadelphia Flower Show is always the first week in March and they have a website with a preview video showing the design and theme of Hawaii: Islands of Aloha. It seems like they have held this event forever, or at least as long as I have lived in this area. It promises to be great as usual. We really enjoy attending. I am encouraged that so many cities hold flower shows to celebrate the onset of spring. My spirits need flowers.<br /><br />I've never heard of a bug house, but that sounds like a great idea. I need bugs that eat deer ticks :-)R.

I would so like to know more about that "insect hotel." That's intriguing. And for the first time, I really could see a face in one of the orchids. <br /><br />I'm glad your allergies didn't give you any problems. What a day you had. And did you end it with a nice long nap?<br /><br />Peace.Dee Readyhttp://www.cominghometomyself.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-64426433711862804432012-02-11T19:26:24.727-08:002012-02-11T19:26:24.727-08:00I loved that insect hotel and got several pics of ...I loved that insect hotel and got several pics of it.
