#Northwest Flower & Garden Festival (Post #2) - #SaturdaySnapshot and #MondayWalk

Last week I posted photos of the gorgeous displays at this year's Northwest Flower & Garden Festival HERE. Today I'm showcasing other random pictures from that event.
(Click on photos for a closer look.)


A skybridge over Pike Street links the north and south halls of the
convention center where the event was held. 

This sunlit area housed garden "rooms."


One of the outdoor rooms displayed on the skybridge. 
I'd love to have this on my deck.


I could definitely take a nap in this outdoor room.

View from a skybridge display, down Pike Street to Elliot Bay, Puget Sound.

The natural shape of this branch was enhanced by carving. Amazing!
Tiny goldfish added a surprise element to this bonsai garden.
The exhibit was named "Taoist Myth: The Isles of the Blest"
Fairies among the flowers!

This bench would look perfect under a Douglas fir tree
in my backyard.

This tableau made me want to dig in and start planting. I'm ready for spring!

  6. csuhpat1: I had a great time and came away with lots of ideas for springtime plantings. It's hard to wait until the weather is warm enough to sow seeds.

  7. I am also waiting for warm enough weather to plant annuals. My across-the-street neighbor made me a wonderful cedar planter box for my front yard. I am eager to fill it with a multitude of geraniums!

    As always, your photos gladden my heart. Thanks!

  16. Wow! I love the outdoor napping area, especially. We got crazy last weekend and planted our seeds in the ground. And last night it froze.

    Hurry, spring.

  17. Deb: I've had the urge to start planting, too, but have managed to resist. The rule around here is to wait until after Mother's Day to plant annuals.
    Betty-NZ: Thanks for stopping by. I'm glad you enjoyed the photos.
