Ric and I visited the Phila Flower Show yesterday and they had some outstanding displays. Sorry to say that my slight tremor made some of the pics a bit shaky but I may post those anyway as I want you to get an idea of them.
I will start out with what I thought was one of the most wonderful displays It was a wire dress form stuffed soil and moss and a living dress. The skirt was growing ivy the bodice a mix of semps.

Another Topiary This very cute puppy with with semps of the face and paws

Glass pirates chest

This blue ribbon hanging pot just stunned me. .......Haworthia Emelyae...................Haworthia Truncata lime green

Nice pictures - thanks! I really, really love that Hawthoria Truncata lime green! I've been getting into Hawthroias lately.

I will be putting together other threads with different pictures in other areas and will post links here when I get them done. That way you can travel to different Cubits to visit and see more of the show and maybe you will have some new visitors to your Cubit.

last pics for this thread.

I absolutely love the texture of Echeverai 'Doris Taylor'.
Holly do you know the name of the two plants in this middle row of the last post. I would love to know what they are. Wonder if they would be hardy here? I love the form of both.
How wonderful all the photos are Holly, thank you so much for sharing them. Can't wait to see the links to the other Cubits where you will be posting more photos of the show.

Thanks everso for sharing Holly

Sorry Lynn, I did try to get names of some of the plants but those I didn't have. They were just beautiful in person my poor pics don't do them justice.
Glad you are liking them.
Chris, I have a couple of Hawthroias and think they are very interesting, too.
These are the plants I brought home from the show I don't have any ID's for them so if you can ID any of them I would appreciate it.

Those are a couple of great combinations! So how many other plants did you bring home???

Are those all Hawthroias in those two pots Holly?

Chris, Those are the only plants I brought home from the show. I have gotten so many plants in the last two weeks that I swore I would only bring home a few cute succulents.
No Lynn, Those new little pots don't have any Hawthroias that I know of. I meant that I have a gotten a few Hawthroias in the last year.

nice Holly... you know I am partial to the puppy!!

Allison I have some coleus pics just for you. I'll post them a bit later.

ooohhh great

Puppy? Did I miss something. I love puppies.

go back to the top and see the puppy, he is way too cute.
thanks for posting your pics i loved them. it's cold rainy and wet here.

Got it, thanks Cynthia. I love it's little eyes. : )

Great pics Holly. Thank you so much for sharing. I love the same two plants that Lynn ask about. Really like the ones you bought home too. I enjoy looking at each plant in each container....gets me pumped up for planting.
