Re: Pacific Northwest Garden Show - A Mind Blower!

Lorraine,
	I'm glad that I only live a short 20 minute bus ride away from the show :)
 My roommate had snagged me an exhibitiors pass that I used on Tuesday to
run around the show and figure out what I wanted to spend time on (show
opened on Wed).  Was able to actually see a couple of the seminars (bulbs &
espalier) - very interesting!

	I had the added benefit of getting out of the show with spending LESS than
$35!  I just made sure I 'ran' through the orchids, and I didn't even look
at Schriner's iris booth!  The dahlias caught me this time - I even bought
one of those 'tree dahlia' packages (it *says* it grows up to 25 feet tall
... we'll see!).

	I took a couple of pics, and while they're not the best in the world, I
have them available to view at:

Gotta run ...

Everyone knows you said this, so don't deny it!

| My husband, eager on the road to many 'brownie points', drove me to Seattle
| to the show yesterday.  Well worth the two hour trek down.  
| 
| World class exhibition, that truly throws you into the gradening spirit. 
| When you arrive at the entrance, the air is thick with fragrance from 14 or
| so huge floral arrangements - I mean huge 5' plus in height.  All done by
| local florists and nurseries.
| 
| The Exhibition hall with the gardens is amazing.  How do they get those
| boulders and trees and cottages in there?
| 
| The plant marketplace?  Well, I now have many more daylilies, dahlias, and
| lilies.
| 
| And the crafts and trade marketplace?  So fun to talk to fellow gardeners. 
| The booths were all well presented, and picked up many ideas on dried
| flower arrangements to potpourri.
| 
| If you can, I highly recommend you diarize this show.  Well worth it.
