    This is part 2 of my trip to Canada Blooms :)
    Moving on to another one of my favorites, here is a novice class, "Wildly Romantic" a design in a basket. I've posted the 1st place winner first, and then a few of the others

    So much to see at the show! Moving out of the Garden Club and into the rest of the show, we come across a display from professional florists that catches our eye

    I enjoyed this posting too!
    I liked the second display from the top. The one in a trug. It was my fav.

    I also liked the woman with a long frock with purple blooms on it.

    Naturally the last foto's were sublime.

    I really loved that arrangement too Sjoerd! So many beautiful things there, I tried to photograph them all! Of course I can't post them all so mostly just my favorites. The last 2 photos had us giggling ... :D

    I agree with Sjeord as I love the trug too - my idea of 'Wildly Romantic.'
    The 'Wild and Wooly' - my chpice for first would have been the third one as it looks quite complicated yet very attractive.
    The purple lady is gorgeous and I wish I could do things like that with flowers. Were they clematis blooms on her hat and dress by any chance?
    You and your daughter certainly seem to have had lots of fun at the show going by the last two piccies. :-D

    I cant remember what the purple flowers were Eileen, but I know they weren't clematis. They looked more tropical. I'll see if I can find out.

    I've been looking all over Eileen, to see if I could find out what kind of blooms those are. I found this video clip, hope you can watch it. It looks like they might be Hibiscus blooms?

    Watching this video, I wish I could have been there with the reporter as the show wasn't open yet (no people in the way of my pictures! LOL)
