The 2011 Philadelphia International Flower Show, March 6 – 13 at The Convention Center in Philadelphia, will transport visitors to the beautiful City of Light – the capital of art, fashion, food, and love. A blooming “Springtime in Paris†will greet guests with a bucolic park scene along the Seine. Flowering trees, lilacs, roses and borders of lavender will lead visitors through gardens inspired by the Tuileries. In the distance, a daring Moulin Rouge atmosphere will pulse with cabaret performances, spectacular flower sculptures and carousel topiaries.
Featured displays will highlight:
* Opulent Paris, a time of Victorian glamour.
* Romantic Paris, tête-à -tête down the Seine.
* Gourmet Paris, amid rooftop and edible gardens.
* Artists’ Paris, from canvas to landscape.
* Underground Paris, a catacomb of avant-garde art.
* Timeless Paris, courtyards and cafes form a Parisian paradise.
