I know that sometimes choices have to be made.<br /><br />Carol- oooh a flower show in another country. That would be great! I've become something of a snob (hangs head apologetically). I can handle really small local shows because of the local value. I have trouble with medium-sized shows because they try to be special and usually fail. The really big ones have enough to be able to wow me.Sharkbyteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10139935335209860357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-33815350282636325402011-03-14T03:18:11.067-04:002011-03-14T03:18:11.067-04:00We have the Chelsea Flower Show in May - Queen us...We have the Chelsea Flower Show in May - Queen usually goes on a preview visit, it's always the one that gets a lot of publicity. :)<br /><br />We have lots of little ones all over the country.

I'm hoping to sell them on Craig's list or on Jo's ( Poetic Shutterbug )new Ebay store.

I've been to the Chicago one once, also Grand Rapids (not so great) and when Ann Arbor used to have one, I actually helped with setup for two years. <br /><br />Carmen- Wow!

Plus, this blog wasn't started then.<br /><br />Grace- It's just an amazing experience!<br /><br />Ann- I think this year there were more actual plants and fewer displays made from plant materials. <br /><br />Jean- stay tuned for live plants. I really like both kinds of displays, though.Sharkbyteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10139935335209860357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-26859464029878269372011-03-12T18:37:41.278-05:002011-03-12T18:37:41.278-05:00The Camel is my fave also.
