We started off in a snow storm on our adventure of the day! It is very beautiful, but it is mid March! Portland was overcast, windy and raw. The moment we entered the door of the show, it was magical! Flowers every where! The fragrance, the colors it just enveloped you! The displays were amazing! My favorite was the Beehive! The use of flowers, color and design, just made you smile. The stone work in many of the exhibits was so inspiring. The combinations of stone, brick, granite and wood, so many ideas! Water gardens, small and large, something for everyone. It was so nice to have the exhibitors there to speak to. It was great to talk to them about their displays. They were so informative about our growing conditions and what was best for our areas. All the time we were surrounded by the beauty of the show and by the people so enjoying this much needed breath of spring! I stopped by Maplecrest Lilies and got more bulbs to add to my garden. I can't seem to get enough of them!! It was still rainy and gray but our breath of spring time should hold us for awhile! It is lighter later and the temperatures seem to hit 50 more often. We see the snow banks receding! It won't be long before we are planting!
