The venerable Philadelphia Flower Show lets its hair down

By Adrian Higgins Adrian Higgins Gardening columnist Email Bio Follow March 3 at 2:30 PM PHILADELPHIA — From afar, Nick McCullough’s display at this year’s Philadelphia Flower Show is dense with June-flowering perennials, and there is something of the English cottage garden about it.

Woodstock seems an odd subject for a fresh-faced designer from Ohio but it comports with the show’s theme, “Flower Power.” The organizer, the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, urges visitors to “dust off the bell-bottoms and love beads,” and a few of the visitors this week have taken them up on the idea. The show, which began 190 years ago, runs until March 10 at Philly’s downtown Pennsylvania Convention Center and is expected to draw a quarter of a million visitors lusting for spring.

In its underlying structure and symmetry and its avoidance of literality, the exhibit is as effective as such a temporary garden can be in a concrete cavern devoid of natural light.

Can you hire a real photographer for this?

France's 'yellow vest' protest numbers sharply down, government figures showTurnout for a 16th round of 'yellow vest' protests in France on Saturd... It's not the quantity that counts -with yellow vest- but the Quality what really matters ! thankfully, be the earlier footages/reports, the Yellow or whatever Vest were just damaging public properties & assets & doing violence at will. & the passers-by and public were terrified & on-the-spot terrorised. hopefully the vests didn't bomb any where or kill people.
