Went to the show once again for this year over the weekend. Took some photos around. Really notice a lot less plant vendors at the Fiesta Hall. But the marketplace is thriving. Still a nice way to start Spring season! Big Grin

Every year, there is a show stopper display, this year, at the entrance, there are these animatronic insects:
The huge grasshopper:

I am more into drought tolerant plants, so I really like this landscaping idea, nice combination of drought tolerant plants:

There used to be that vendor from Hawaii where they sell plumeria cuttings, ti plants, this time around they were not there. Sad

To complete my day, got some plants:
A lovely Sarracenia carnivore:

I also got this nice hummingbird feeder, I like the design, shallow enough and easy to clean, lots of drinking holes for the hummies, and will not drip, so it will not attract ants!
