Philadelphia Flower Show 2026- The "Wright" Way


Today I'll share another of the major exhibits. This was created by the Lakeside School. It places two Frank Lloyd Wright houses back to back: Falling Waters and Talieson West. The explanation says "by integrating both [native plants and water with xeriscaping and water-conscious plantings] Wright's work paved the way for landscaping in the 21st Century."

This side is Falling Waters with the water and plantings.

The other side was Talieson West. This was rather stunning. I've been to Falling Waters, but not Talieson West. I would think I'd like Falling Waters better, but the starkness of the xeriscape and the bright color is nifty too.

Here are the plantings along the rest of the front of this side.

I don't think this one even tried to get anything in about roots.

Today was almost all about needed stuff. We grocery shopped for hours, put it all away (fresh produce takes a lot of time), cooked dinner, made banana bread. I edited, we played our game. The weather was dreary and drippy.
