Philadelphia International Flower Show: with an edge

Not everything at the Philadelphia International Flower Show is blissfully pastoral. Sometimes, the displays have an edge, and that's certainly the case with the display by MODA Botanica.

 

The designs were done in giant corregated steel containers of the type they might load on ships, stacked side-by-side and on top of one another. Around the containers were cement blocks used as planters.

In one of the containers sitting precariously overhead the plants appeared to be floating weightlessly.

In another, a delivery of white flowers seems to have been knocked around badly during shipping.

 

There is nothing like the Philly Flower Show to make you think you don't have a creative bone in your body....

Hi Great show ! please post more pictures.!

Giant corregated steel containers of the type they might load on ships, stacked side-by-side and on top of one another. They are waterproof, fireproof, and insulated. I would live in one in a minute.

Yeah, but hot in summer!--

About Susan Reimer
Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
