NW Flower and Garden Show

Beautiful box of forced tulips.
Desert garden pot.
This would be a beautiful addition to a backyard garden

This exhibit was "The Three Pigs". This is the house of bricks. They also had a house of straw and of twigs. The house was brought in, probably on a crane.
A unique way to decorate using an old-fashioned bicycle.
There was a skybridge connecting the convention center and I snapped this picture looking down the streets of Seattle toward the waterfront on Elliot bay

This won a blue ribbon. The theme was nursery rhymes. This was the mother that lived in a shoe, but it is a high heeled shoe!
I didn't realize it was even a shoe until I came around the side and snapped this picture.
This a wisteria plant that was force to bloom in a greenhouse. Many, many plants were like that.
One of my favorites was a garden on a wall!
This was a huge convention center so sponsors brought in materials to build a house structure right at the facility. It was amazing. There was a 25 foot full grown tree. It must have had a huge root ball.
A clear day in Seattle deserves a picture of the Space Needle, a signature attraction.
It was a pretty winter day as the NW was still in the throughs of cold and snow as we drove to Seattle.
