Macy's Spring 2012 Flower Show

I thought that since I'm going to the conservatory today, I'd start off with some pics from a bit over a week ago when we went to the Macy's Flower Show =)  Which is, I must add, back in the auditorium where it belongs.  The theme was Brasil Gardens of Paradise, and while it wasn't the most impressive show I've ever seen them put on, I enjoyed it a lot.  Here are some of my favorite pics:


The toucan was made completely out of flowers! 


Yes - it's an adorable tiny pineapple!


The kitty is mechanized so it moves a bit & looks like it's breathing or purring =)  We've seen him appear in several shows! 


So, as I said, off work today & off to the Como Park Conservatory to see their spring show.  I hope to have time to edit some nail pics & post more once I get home - and of course will have some more gorgeous flowers to share with you guys too =)

Thanks for reading.  (And for being so patient with my non-regularly posting self!)
