We were at the Philadelphia Convention Center Monday to view this year's Philly Flower Show. The theme is Riviara Holiday. Scenes from the Italy, Spain and other countries near the Mediterranean area.
We got there after 10:00am and it was predictably crowded. But we have seen it worse. We learned not to see the displays near the enterance first, but to branch out and see displays in the middle and back of the world's largest indoor flower show. So we hung around vendors for a few hours and saw countless amazing items to view and buy.
There was a good mix of men and women at the show ( granted, more women. Refreshingly, lots of young people too). With the coronavirus outbreak we only saw one person wearing a mask.
The main displays are lovely and very realistic, with manuy courtyards, trellises and olive trees.I noted a lack of color, however. Flower color, specifically. The walls in the displays are colorful, like the homes in Italy. But too much green and not enough flower colors.
Otherwise it's a great show, like usual.
It took about four hours to slowly see everything. Once outside in the March Philadelphia sunshine, with the temperture in the 50s, it really felt like spring.
