A quick two hours at the last morning of Canada Blooms.  Glad I went early it was getting crowded at 11:45.  A nice sunny day, but -11.  

The show was much better. It reflected the outdoor rooms people are looking for and less technical grandening then in the past. Certainly a step up from last year!   

The lighting was certainly different and less. Much more of the outdoor space, the marketplace was smaller.  How many of those mulch franchises exist?   Got another hellebore, my new favorite spring flower. And a large decorative sphere made of barrel staves.  Don’t know what I will do with it but it will be fun to have.
