Canada Blooms with its sale of architectural pools, gates, stairs, walls and concrete everythings...disturbs me. There are flower shows and table setting competitions and magazine sales. There are outdoor lighting displays and fountains too. There are children's play houses, etc. The first year it took place there were gardens of all sizes and unusual plants. Not since. And yes, more folks are in the plant sales area than at the main displays. Parking is insane. No, give me a beautifully photographed blog with honest commentary any day!

It does seem to have declined since the change in venue, which is sad. The nearest SoCal show, still a month away, usually disappoints me too but I go every year, mainly to see if the vendors have something I must have (which they usually do).Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469171193186241773.post-20023442339370887352013-03-28T18:57:05.205-07:002013-03-28T18:57:05.205-07:00total bomb !total bomb !kshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847026541797857854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469171193186241773.post-27370733838426984062013-03-28T18:56:49.951-07:002013-03-28T18:56:49.951-07:00I still say they designed WTF at a cocktail party....I still say they designed WTF at a cocktail party..the only logical explanation !kshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847026541797857854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469171193186241773.post-37871925640055570552013-03-28T18:55:17.000-07:002013-03-28T18:55:17.000-07:00I did buy Loree, but way less than usual..I bought...I did buy Loree, but way less than usual..I bought succulents (mostly Echeveria) lilies - a tradition, and 3 from Robin Parer(Geraniaceae) , also a tradition.
