On Sunday, March 11th, our group headed down to the annual Philadelphia Flower Show.  Since experience from previous years has always told us to go on the last day, that's precisely what we did.

It didn't work out so well.

Although I don't know the cause, the show was much more crowded than in previous years.  If you look in the Photo Gallery, you'll see that most of my pictures are "tight shots".  That's not because of artistic preference, it's more because the zombie-like mob was squashing me tight into the exhibits. 

The theme this year was "Ireland".  Although I rather liked the theme; many people simply ignored it.  I guess it doesn't work that well for selling anything other than landscaping.  And possibly dinosaurs...

I'm not sure what advice I'd give for next year.  Maybe first thing in the morning, middle of the week?  I don't know.  I do know that the crowds really don't let you enjoy the show; I'm just not sure what to do about it.
