Toronto Blooms in March at Canada Blooms

The Canada Blooms and Home Show was on last week, and I had a chance to visit.  While there are still landscape planting displays, the overall trend has transitioned to luxurious outdoor living rooms and outdoor kitchens with built-in barbecues, etc.  Water features are very popular in the landscaped areas. My favourite part of the show is the floral display competition featuring international artists and their creative arrangements. There are always so many people in these areas and the overall lighting isn't that good.  As a result, I don't get too many pictures.  Here are the few that worked out. I've included the last picture of Ranunculus.  Each year there is a mass display of Ranunculus flowers in vases.   It is another lovely part of the show, and a welcome sign of Spring.

Christmas Displays So Wonderful

This is the lovely display at Centennial Gardens in the west end of Toronto.  Every year there's a living plant display.  This year it looks like a Gingerbread House or Hansel and Gretel's home.  Every season has its floral strength and the Christmas Conservatory is a great experience for those of us who live in snowy climates.
