….to the 2009 Southeastern Flower Show!  I’ve just arrived home after visiting the show on opening day, and it’s spectacular.

"Roxanne's Place," created by the Boxwood Garden Club

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so here are a few snapshots of what you’ll see when you visit.  Tomorrow, I’ll tell you more about the speakers and demonstrations coming up the rest of this week.   For now, scroll down to see some of the landscapes, floral arrangements, and other beautiful displays that caught my eye.

Enjoy!

(p.s.—I’ll be back at the show on Sat., from 11 A.M. to 1 P.M. to sign copies of my book, Gardening with Heirloom Seeds, in the Eagle Eye Bookstore inside the show.)

you'll find herbs and veggie gardens at the show, as well as flowers

this stunning arrangement with chartreuse and red blossoms sat on a black-draped table--very dramatic!

fall was represented at the show too, by this arrangement of lemon-yellow sunflowers

one gardener won a ribbon for this exquisite amaryllis

spring arrived today in atlanta (in the Cobb Galleria, anyway!)

It’s finally here, the first day of the long-awaited Southeastern Flower Show!

spring (and a hint of summer) arrive today at the flower show!

There’s so much to see and do, you’ll want to wear a pair of good walking shoes as you stroll through the many beautiful gardens we have planned for you this year.  Bring your notebook, so you can jot down ideas for your own landscape, container plantings, and floral designs—you’ll find plenty of inspiration and “ah”-inspiring ideas starting today through Sunday.

Hope to see you at the show. I’ll be arriving around 5 P.M. to blog live and make some pictures of the gorgeous flowers, shrubs, and other plants.

Look forward to meeting you!

cheers,

Lynn

your “master blogger” for the flower show
