#136: Philadelphia Flower Show (Page 700)

The Philadelphia Flower Show is the World's largest indoor flower show.  It is held for one week (typically the beginning of March) once a year in the Philadelphia Convention Center and is full of beautiful displays like this one.

Each year, there is a different theme.  This year it was entitled "Brilliant" and had a British theme.

Verdict:  No.  Definitely not something you need to do before you die.  My husband and I kept walking around thinking we were missing something because neither one of us were getting all that excited about, well, anything.  It was rather underwhelming for both of us.  The cost was $27/adult (if you purchase your tickets in advance online) or $32 if purchased at the door.  Definitely not worth the money, in our opinion.  Maybe if you are passionately involved with flowers/horticulture as a hobby or for a living, it would be worth doing, but not otherwise.  Although, I suspect many people may disagree with me since the place was packed!
