Philadelphia Flower Show

Well, wasn't this fun. My first attempt at adding a slideshow to my blog. If you click on the slideshow, it will bring you to my Picassa site where you can view the photos in full screen and slow down the slide presentation. You will also be able to read the captions, which don't show up here. Ah, never mind. I figured it out. You need to click the little "comments" button on the bottom left side of the slide show. It's the one that looks like a little white message box. If you hold your mouse over the bottom edge of the slideshow, you'll be able to pause, fast-forward, or go backward by hitting the appropriate buttons.

This is the Philadelphia Flower Show. It is the largest indoor show in the world. The only larger show is in England and that is only larger because it is both indoor and outdoor. The first Philadelphia Flower Show was in 1820 and has been continuously showing every year since then. The theme this year was "Hawaii." There were many, many, many, many orchids on display.
