Flower Shows Anyone?

14 years ago

Went to the NJ Flower Show today in Edison. Frankly, I it was a bit of a disappointment in my opinion--way too dark in the exhibition areas--more like "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil". Some palms, mostly European fans, Trachys, Majesty...(forgot the others). Used to go to NYC's back in the day when they had them (they were great!) Not too much to buy in terms of plants but I did find a zone 7 hardy banana (Musa itinerans Mekong Giant). If NYC is still hosting its incomparable, annual Orchid Show, I might venture in to the big, bad city. Not an orchid nut but this show is/used to be? fab.

Hi
I seldom go to plant shows lol using the admission money to buy other plants. One exception . World Orchid Conference.. What an experience that was !!! They had hundreds of species that you could only dream of seeing let alone growing . The vendor list alone was worth the admission!! I didn't attend any of the workshops but did get get to meet fellow "NUTS from all over the world lol gary

If you've never been to the Philadelphia Flower Show its one of the biggest and oldest in the world. It's a must see if you live in the mid Atlantic. It's coming up in early March. Combine that with a visit to the Art Museum to see the Van Gogh exhibit (the only US stop on the world tour) and you'll have a pretty memorable weekend.
