There must be something about me and flower shows! Snowing again!! It's okay, we were off to see spring again! We lost the snow within ten miles of home. It turned to rain! We were in Boston by eleven, dodged a few more rain drops and entered the show. The first thing we saw were Subaru's! No flowers just cars!! Strange for a flower show! There were some very beautiful displays. There were very few exhibitors to answer questions. I found it strange to find hosta and daffodils, blooming, planted side by side in a garden. Banana trees, I didn't know they grew here! There was a grouping of large planters. One was made of birch twigs, it made a great presentation. The favorite for me was the raised beds garden with the enormous blue adirondack chair. It was staffed by a wonderful group of volunteers, most having been involved in the growing of the vegetables and herbs. There were so many vendors, row after row! Some were selling garden related items, very few. It was more like a flea market! Cloths, rugs, shows, you name it it was there! I would much rather had more garden displays. Given the two shows my friend and I attended, we enjoyed the Portland show the best! We were a bit hungry by three. To the North End we went! Found a parking space and headed for Fiories! It was amazing! We have gone for many years and each time it is so memorable, the sauces, the pasta, the bread, the veggies and the tiramisu! Perfection!
It was a pleasant ride home, the rain had stopped and the roads were dry. That lasted until we turned on to our road! Snow again, I know spring is soon. I did see a robin the other day!
