Philadelphia Flower Show - Thanks for the Meadow

  This was a spectacular and colorful display at the Flower Show. It's mostly prairie plants, but at a density far beyond what you'd ever find in nature. It was gorgeous, but I was faintly unhappy that it was all cut flowers. The stems were in "vases" made of PVC pipe mounted at an angle on plywood dividers. And these have been forced- these don't all bloom at the same time in nature.

Of course, I loved all the blue!

Orange and pink were well represented. This is pretty much what the long view looked like- just a dense field of color.

I got my act together today and did quite a lot of work. Also walked to town- 2.5 miles with 20 pounds. But it did not feel good. Have to keep working on this. The snow is finally going away, again. Hope to hang clothes outside tomorrow before we return to winter for the weekend.

Miles hiked in 2025: 83.5
