ANNUAL FLOWER AND GARDEN SHOW, ST. JOHN'S COUNTY, FLORIDA
SELF | April 16, 2011 | swampsniper

Posted on 04/16/2011 2:37:04 PM PDT by SWAMPSNIPER

I spent about 3 hours at the flower and garden show, got tired long before I covered everything. The exhibits were spread out over at least 4 or 5 acres, and there were more displays in the main conference room. They were running gardening clinics in another room.

It's a charity event sponsored by the garden clubs.

The turnout was impressive and it's still got another day to run.

Y'all keep the noise down, I'm gonna take a nap!

Stargazer is beautiful. Have you ever seen “Strawberry Shortcake?” They are somewhat similar and stunning as well.

All my normal spring flowers that come up here in S.E. Michigan such as tulips and hyacinths have all been stunted by the numerous sub freezing temps we’ve received over the past several weeks..........I’m really bummed out.
