Six word Saturday

Putting on a show, at Harrogate

All my old favourites, and some new folks too, all in impeccable condition.  That’s what I expect of a flower show, and Harrogate delivered.

And more than that, a fashion show.  The floral art had a sewing theme.  Simply stunning, don’t you think?

There was so much more, but that’s quite enough for a Six Word Saturday.  I think it might do to celebrate Earth Day too.  Have a beautiful weekend, and look after your patch of earth!

  3. Beautiful, Jude would love the tulips, be a great place to buy the special ones. Despite the glorious orchids, my favourite is the elegant blue poppy. I’ve always liked them and tried to grow one a couple of times but failed! Happy Saturday babe x:-)x

    2. Jude does like the tulips and the Himalayan blue poppy. I think they are hard to grow, but I might be tempted to have a go. Must check out what they like. Rosemoor has some lovely ones if you fancy a visit.

      3. Only 3- we’re not big splurgers 🙂 🙂 The plum and white orchid because our last one is in hibernation and we’ve had it a long time, £18, a lovely yellow and crimson iris called Pogo, but I knocked one of the flowers off on the way home ( 😦 ), planted in the garden this morning, before the icy blasts get here, £4.50 and a primula Mick liked in black and gold, £4.00. Not too bad! 🙂 Happy Sunday!

    1. Glorious, Cathy! The skies were a bit stormy and grey but inside the floral pavilion it was heady Summer. 🙂 Thanks, hon! How are you doing? I bet the weeks are flying.

      1. Yes, Jo, the weeks are flying. What with my long work days (9 hours where I don’t have a moment to rest) and my expeditions, the first month has gone by in a flash. It’s hard to believe I only have 3 more months here. It makes me a bit crazy, looking at my list of places to see and realizing there is no way I will manage to squeeze even a small portion of them in! But I’m having fun, that’s for sure. 🙂

    1. Just a few tulips, Vivi, but lovely ones. 🙂 The flower arrangements always amaze me, and those floral dresses were wonderful. Thank you so much, darlin- my Amsterdam postcard arrived today. So glad you had a good time.

  17. What a celebration of the floral world. Your photos are spectacular: that pink rose is my favourite I think. Very different from my walk in the bush. The earth needs a millennium and more plus mega wisdom which is in pretty short supply. I hope your Sunday is spectacular too.

    1. I used to love this show when it was in the old fashioned Valley Gardens, Meg. It’s lost a little character now but you can’t fault the flowers. It was late when we got back after a Thai meal with James and his lady. Zumba and assorted tasks have left me weary so a quiet afternoon is planned, watching Rafa burn up the tennis court. Fingers crossed 🙂 🙂 Blooming great big hugs! 🙂
