I too was a bit underwhelmed by the show this year, but it was still fun. The best part of the show for me, even in years when it's been more spectacular, is having the chance to visit with blogging friends. I'm glad you noticed the hat display. I missed it on Saturday. It turned out to be one of my favorite parts of the show. The conifer garden was beautiful, and the sculptures were really wonderful!<br /><br />I added some hardy cyclamen to our garden a couple of years ago, and love them! The foliage is beautiful, and I love that it stays so fresh all winter long. The fall blooms are wonderful too, and come at a welcome time after most of the garden is past its peak.garden girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284047851881823280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-40345053538180151292011-03-10T08:44:40.498-05:002011-03-10T08:44:40.498-05:00I too have been a little underwhelmed by garden sh...I too have been a little underwhelmed by garden shows, and keep expecting something really spectacular that doesn't materialize.

But not as much fun as we had this weekend--I'm so glad you went along. I was a little disappointed in the show, too, but there were still so many things I did enjoy. It's funny, but we were both taken by some of the same things, and I have some similar photos on my post which will be up tomorrow morning. I enjoyed Rich's exhibit, too, and of course, I must have some of those tulips:) So glad you shared the photo of your cyclamen corms. If my hubby found those in a bag in our garage, he'd probably think they were something else and throw them out:) We'll have to do this again next year!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-37352982937579646672011-03-09T23:01:57.161-05:002011-03-09T23:01:57.161-05:00How great that you got to go!!!How great that you got to go!!!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04402220963886597754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-66533491560921995492011-03-09T22:57:14.324-05:002011-03-09T22:57:14.324-05:00Lisa, great post! i think you summed it up very we...Lisa, great post! i think you summed it up very well. Whar was there was wonderful to see and smell, but it was bot as large as it has been. As Garden Girl said, maybe it is the economy.<br /><br />The show was fun but I think I enjoyed the gathering of the mini meet even more. Getting to spend time with you and Rose was a delight!
