[GWL]: Floriade

In response to Nan Sterman's request for info on Floriade, I went to the last Floriade (1992) very late in the six month show and I was quite sorry that I chose that late date to attend.  Many of the exhibits were closed down and because it was essentially late fall there, the plants and demonstrations were petering out.  I could see that it had been much better earlier on - like any garden show, so I would suggest that travelers consider seeing it in spring when the tulips are in full bloom or in summer when gardens in general are looking good, but not in October.  Also I have on my wall a 6" Delft souvenir plate which was cast for Floriade 1992.  I bought it as a reminder that I had been there, but it also serves as a reminder that one should very carefully check what the price in another nation's currency translates to in our own currency.  I got a real shock when my Visa bill arrived and I found I had paid $175 for the thing!  Caveat emptor!  Darlene White
