The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society’s annual Philadelphia Flower Show, always a spectacular extravaganza, opening on March 11 and running through March 19, has “Holland Flowering the World” as its colorful theme.
On the streets outside, on opening day, there was a late winter chill, but inside the Pennsylvania Convention Center, tulips and other spring flowers, in many hues, abounded. Exhibits are rich in images of windmills, large ones, as the centerpiece of a lightshow, and miniatures; bridges over canals; bicycles; and wooden shoes, and one local school’s contribution pays tribute to the memory of Anne Frank.
“Butterflies Live!” affords children of all ages the opportunity to commune with the butterflies and delight when the more sociable ones alight on their fingers or clothing. Visit https://theflowershow.com for further information or to buy tickets.
